Changes in diversity and functional groups of soil mite communities are associated with properties of food resources along a subalpine secondary succession

Ajuan Zhang et al.

Summary: Soil animal diversity is influenced by environmental and food diversity. Mites are important in soil communities and play a key role in litter decomposition and nutrient cycling. However, it is unclear if the diversity and quality of mite communities are associated with corresponding food resources across trophic levels.

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.

Global maps of soil temperature

Jonas J. Lembrechts et al.

Summary: Research in global change ecology often relies on global climatic grids, which may not accurately reflect temperature conditions below vegetation canopies and near the ground surface. This study provides global maps of soil temperature at different depths, highlighting the significant differences between soil and air temperature. These maps are valuable for ecological applications, but further improvement in spatiotemporal resolution is needed.

Challenges of and opportunities for protecting European soil biodiversity

Romy Zeiss et al.

Summary: Soil biodiversity and ecosystem functions are neglected in biodiversity assessments and conservation actions, especially in Europe. Current nature conservation measures have not shown positive effects on soil ecosystem functioning. German conservation management only considers limited aspects of soils.

Scientists' warning of threats to mountains

Dirk S. Schmeller et al.

Summary: Mountains are an integral part of the global life-support system, but they face threats such as climate change, overexploitation, and water abstraction. These threats result in reduced biodiversity, impaired ecosystem functioning, and ultimately impact the well-being of animals and humans.

Six groups of ground-dwelling arthropods show different diversity responses along elevational gradients in the Swiss Alps

Jose D. Gilgado et al.

Summary: Elevational gradients play a crucial role in shaping species diversity patterns. In this study, the effects of elevation, area, habitat, and soil characteristics on six groups of ground-dwelling arthropods were investigated in the Swiss National Park and its surroundings. The findings suggest that elevation is the most important factor explaining diversity patterns, while local habitat and soil characteristics have limited influence. The study highlights the importance of using a multi-taxa approach to avoid misleading findings regarding overall biodiversity patterns.

Rock glaciers and related cold rocky landforms: Overlooked climate refugia for mountain biodiversity

Stefano Brighenti et al.

Summary: Cold rocky landforms in mountain ranges, often overlooked in ecological literature, have the potential to provide stable and cool habitats for biodiversity in the face of climate warming. These features may act as key climate refugia for terrestrial and aquatic biodiversity, remaining on the landscape even after adjacent glaciers and snowfields have melted.

Habitat and Landform Types Drive the Distribution of Carabid Beetles at High Altitudes

Mauro Gobbi et al.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of habitat and landform types on the distribution of high altitude ground beetles in the Dolomites. It found that species richness and taxonomic distinctness did not differ significantly among habitat types, but did show significant differences when landform types were considered. Activity density and species frequency varied significantly between both habitat and landform types.

Soil invertebrate abundance, diversity, and community composition across steep high elevation snowmelt gradients in the European Alps

Julia Seeber et al.

Summary: This study focused on the abundance, diversity, and composition of soil invertebrates along snowmelt gradients in the European Alps. Soil conditions and time of snowmelt were not correlated with densities of soil animals, indicating that variations in soil organic matter and sand content had little effect on soil invertebrates in snowbed habitats. Invertebrate species assemblages in snowbeds along the west-east transect of the European Alps were found to be rather similar.
