Environmental disturbances seem to be increasing in frequency and impact, yet we have
little understanding of the belowground impacts of these events. Soil fauna, while widely …

Global climate warming may induce a positive feedback through increasing soil carbon (C)
release to the atmosphere. Although warming can affect both C input to and output from soil …

Acid rain is one of the severest environmental issues globally. Relative to other global
changes (eg, warming, elevated atmospheric [CO 2], and nitrogen deposition), however …

Summer droughts strongly affect soil organic carbon (SOC) cycling, but net effects on SOC
storage are unclear as drought affects both C inputs and outputs from soils. Here, we …

Assessing the resilience of polar biota to climate change is essential for predicting the
effects of changing environmental conditions for ecosystems. Collembola are abundant in …

Restoration of nutrient-enriched heathlands and similar dry habitats via topsoil removal
requires the re-assembly of above and belowground communities to attain fully functional …

Abstract In Central Europe, summer droughts are increasing in frequency which threatens
production and biodiversity in agroecosystems. The potential of different farming systems to …

Collembolans are one of the most diverse and abundant group of soil invertebrates. Recent
studies have shown anthropogenic climate warming to alter Collembola diversity and …

Climate change scenarios predict more frequent and intense drought periods for 2071 to
2100 for many regions of the world including Austria. Current and predicted lower …

Understanding the physiology and ecology of springtails and their responses to
environmental conditions in the soil is important for many aspects of soil ecology. Many …
