Soil seed bank composition and dynamics are crucial elements for the understanding of
plant population and community ecology. Earthworms are increasingly recognized as …

Globally, biological invasions can have strong impacts on biodiversity as well as ecosystem
functioning. While less conspicuous than introduced aboveground organisms, introduced …

Classifying organisms has a wide use and a long history in ecology. However, the meaning
of a 'group of organisms' and how to group organisms is still the subject of much theoretical …

The role of earthworms on biogeochemical carbon cycling is a major knowledge gap
resulting from the difficulty of isolating and exploring the effects provided by the diversity of …

Soil adhesion occurs on the surfaces of soil-tillage implements during use. This
phenomenon increases energy consumption and decreases tillage quality. Nevertheless …

Purpose Although humans are part of nature, the relationship between humans and nature
is not well understood, neither in sustainable marketing nor in relationship marketing. Nature …

The spread of exotic earthworms ('worming') and rising temperatures are expected to alter
the biological, chemical and physical properties of many ecosystems, yet little is known …

There is mounting evidence that the functioning of an ecosystem is highly connected to the
diversity of its biota. However, the influence of biodiversity on ecosystem functions in …
