DOI: 10.1016/j.apsoil.2017.04.010
Abstract: Abstract Three field studies have been performed, in order to assess changes in the composition of soil animal communities, soil physical and chemical features and mineralization processes with Norway spruce (Picea abies, L.) phases of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0282068
Abstract: Soil invertebrates are an integral part of Arctic ecosystems through their roles in the breakdown of litter, soil formation, and nutrient cycling. However, studies examining soil invertebrates in the Arctic are limited and our understanding… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0282069
Abstract: Large-scale declines in terrestrial insects have been reported over much of Europe and across the world, however, population change assessments of other key invertebrate groups, such as soil invertebrates, have been largely neglected through a… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2021.682224
Abstract: Soil invertebrate corpse decomposition is an ecologically significant, yet poorly understood, process affecting nutrient biogeochemical cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. Here, we attempted to answer how the substrate chemistry and microbial community change during soil invertebrate… read more here.

DOI: 10.7554/elife.52787
Abstract: The effects of land use on soil invertebrates – an important ecosystem component – are poorly understood. We investigated land-use impacts on a comprehensive range of soil invertebrates across New Zealand, measured using DNA metabarcoding… read more here.
