Abstract Soil organisms have an important role in aboveground community dynamics and ecosystem functioning terrestrial ecosystems. However, most studies considered soil biota as a black box or focussed on specific groups, whereas little is known about entire networks. Here we show that during the course of nature restoration abandoned arable land compositional shift biota, preceded by tightening belowground networks, corresponds with enhanced efficiency carbon uptake. In mid- long-term field...
Comparative genomic analysis of “dry rot” fungus shows both convergent evolution and divergence among fungal decomposers.

We report Cu, Fe, and Zn natural isotope compositions in organs, body fluids, diets feces of mice sheep. Large systematic variability is observed, notably the δ66Zn liver δ65Cu kidneys, but significant differences exist between mice, sheep humans, especially value blood. The results are interpreted with reference to current knowledge metal trafficking redox conditions cells. In general, light isotopes preferentially fractionate into 'softer' bonds involving sulfur such as cysteine...
Stable sulphur isotope ratios ( 34 S/ 32 S) in animal tissues have been suggested as a tracer of coastal residency terrestrial animals, but data are lacking that quantify the inland range signal and effects seasonality. Here, we present δ S measurements sheep wool collected seasonally on eight farms across Ireland samples opportunistically along west east coasts. We observed large (>10‰) differences island show values were negatively correlated with distance to coast. propose this is due...
Abstract As the most abundant animals on earth, nematodes are a dominant component of soil community. They play critical roles in regulating biogeochemical cycles and vegetation dynamics within across landscapes an indicator biological activity. Here, we present comprehensive global dataset nematode abundance functional group composition. This includes 6,825 georeferenced samples from all continents biomes. For geospatial mapping purposes these aggregated into 1,933 unique 1-km pixels, each...
Intense rains are becoming more frequent. By causing waterlogging, they may increase soil erosion and surface compaction, hamper seedling establishment, reduce plant growth. Since anecic earthworms make vertical burrows that improve water infiltration, we hypothesised can counteract such disturbance. In a field experiment, intact mesocosms with ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum), or without introduced adult Lumbricus terrestris, underwent either precipitation regime two intense rain events (36...
