Fungi are important members of soil microbial communities in row-crop and grassland soils,
provide essential ecosystem services such as nutrient cycling, organic matter …

The belowground compartment of terrestrial ecosystems drives nutrient cycling, the
decomposition and stabilisation of organic matter, and supports aboveground life …

Inferring biotic interactions from functional, phylogenetic and geographical proxies remains
one great challenge in ecology. We propose a conceptual framework to infer the backbone …

Our knowledge about land-use impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning is mostly
limited to single trophic levels, leaving us uncertain about whole-community biodiversity …

The influence of pH on the relative importance of the two principal decomposer groups in
soil, fungi and bacteria, was investigated along a continuous soil pH gradient at Hoosfield …
