Assembly processes in soil animal communities: Integrating phylogeny and trait-based approaches
(2018-03-02)Soils are among the most biodiverse systems on earth. The coexistence in soils of a multitude of animal species has long puzzled soil ecologists. How can so many species co-occur, and what are the processes driving and ... -
Carbon flow in belowground food webs assessed by isotope tracers
(2016-02-04)Soil food webs are complex networks that consist of several trophic levels and taxonomic groups including soil microorganisms, protists, nematodes, annelids and soil arthropods. Interactions between and within trophic ... -
Changes in trophic niches of oribatid mites with transformation of tropical rainforest systems - from rainforest into rubber and oil palm plantations in Sumatra, Indonesia
(2021-01-05)During the last decades especially tropical regions suffered from degradation as well as transformation of landscapes into different land-use systems. Logged rainforest sites in Southeast Asia are often transformed into ... -
Changes in trophic structure of decomposer communities with land use in Central European temperate forests
(2014-03-05)Soil animals affect major ecosystem processes, such as nutrient cycling and soil formation, and thereby play a central role in aboveground - belowground interactions. Soil animal food webs are complex trophic networks ... -
Collembola communities across forest ecosystems in Germany: Long-term dynamics and interrelationships with fungal food resources
(2023-06-20)Collembola, one of the most abundant animals in soils worldwide, are important drivers of soil ecosystem services such as carbon sequestration and the cycling of organic matter. By feeding on fungal hyphae and spores, they ... -
Molecular Analysis of Centipede Predation
(2013-09-30)Soil food webs are an essential part of terrestrial ecosystem functioning and characterised by a high degree of cross linkage between the members of a highly diverse soil community. Centipedes are abundant predators in the ... -
Phylogeography in sexual and parthenogenetic European oribatida
(2011-01-20)Oribatid mites (Acari, Oribatida) are a species rich group which may form the oldest group of Chelicerata, as indicated by fossils from Devonian sediment (~380 million years) and molecular ... -
Plant species and global change agents as driving factors of rhizosphere processes and soil nematode communities
(2013-03-19)The soil system harbors important ecosystem functions. Understanding the factors influencing the functioning of soil systems is crucial to react adequately on changes induced by alteration in plant species compositions and ... -
Soil animal food webs in temperate forests: effects of forest management on trophic structure as indicated by molecular gut content, stable isotope and fatty acid analyses
(2015-01-19)The soil system comprises a high diversity of coexisting species interacting in close association. Generally, soil animals are assumed to be trophic generalists feeding on resources of even different trophic levels. The ... -
Spread and performance of European earthworms invading North America as indicated by molecular markers and climate chamber experiments
(2018-10-15)European lumbricid earthworms were introduced into northern North America by European settlers about 400 years ago. They are invasive across the continent and cause notable changes in native forest ecosystems. Human-mediated ... -
Structure of and carbon flux through soil food webs of temperate grassland as affected by land use management
(2014-11-06)In Europe grasslands are among the most important agricultural systems. They are subject to continuous management intensification, which is potentially threatening ecosystem services. Since soil comprises the largest ... -
Tree species as determinants of the structure of oribatid mite communities (Oribatida) and the incorporation of plant carbon and nitrogen in the soil animal food web
(2013-08-23)In this dissertation I investigated the role of tree species for the structure and functioning of soil animal food webs in temperate forests. In the field, the role of tree species diversity as compared to tree species ...
