Feeding habits and multifunctional classification of soil-associated consumers from protists to vertebrates

Anton M. Potapov et al.

Summary: Soil organisms play a crucial role in ecosystem functions by mineralizing carbon and releasing nutrients, which supports plant growth, biodiversity, and human nutrition. The feeding habits of soil organisms have been studied using molecular, biochemical, and isotopic tools, revealing new insights into their trophic relationships and food resource preferences. This comprehensive review provides a multifunctional classification of soil-associated consumers, integrating existing knowledge and novel methods, and highlights the importance of adopting these tools for future soil food-web research.

Earthworm invasion causes declines across soil fauna size classes and biodiversity facets in northern North American forests

Malte Jochum et al.

Summary: Anthropogenic pressures lead to changes in ecosystem structure and biodiversity, with species invasion such as earthworms significantly impacting soil fauna communities. Our study in northern North America reveals that high invasion of earthworms results in reduced abundance and richness of soil fauna, indicating a negative impact on biodiversity.

Oil palm and rubber expansion facilitates earthworm invasion in Indonesia

Anton Potapov et al.

Summary: Changes in land use in tropical ecosystems lead to an increase in invasive earthworm abundance and a decrease in diversity. Earthworm communities in rubber and oil palm plantations are less diverse and dominated by the invasive species Pontoscolex corethrurus.
