• Early stage litter decomposition across biomes 

      Ika, Djukic; Kepfer-Rojas, Sebastian; Schmidt, Inger Kappel; Larsen, Klaus Steenberg; Beier, Claus; ... more authors ( Elsevier , 2018 , Article)
      Through litter decomposition enormous amounts of carbon is emitted to the atmosphere. Numerous large-scale decomposition experiments have been conducted focusing on this fundamental soil process in order to understand the ...
    • Effects of Climate and Atmospheric Nitrogen Deposition on Early to Mid-Term Stage Litter Decomposition Across Biomes 

      Kwon, Taeoh; Shibata, Hideaki; Kepfer-Rojas, Sebastian; Schmidt, Inger K.; Larsen, Klaus S.; ... more authors ( Frontiers Media , 2021 , Article)
      Litter decomposition is a key process for carbon and nutrient cycling in terrestrial ecosystems and is mainly controlled by environmental conditions, substrate quantity and quality as well as microbial community abundance ...
    • Global maps of soil temperature 

      Lembrechts, Jonas J.; van den Hoogen, Johan; Aalto, Juha; Ashcroft, Michael B.; De Frenne, Pieter; ... more authors ( Wiley , 2022 , Article)
      Research in global change ecology relies heavily on global climatic grids derived from estimates of air temperature in open areas at around 2 m above the ground. These climatic grids do not reflect conditions below vegetation ...
    • Globally invariant metabolism but density-diversity mismatch in springtails 

      Potapov, Anton M.; Guerra, Carlos A.; van den Hoogen, Johan; Babenko, Anatoly; Bellini, Bruno C.; ... more authors ( Nature Research , 2023 , Article)
      Soil life supports the functioning and biodiversity of terrestrial ecosystems. Springtails (Collembola) are among the most abundant soil arthropods regulating soil fertility and flow of energy through above- and belowground ...
    • SoilTemp: A global database of near-surface temperature 

      Lembrechts, Jonas J.; Aalto, Juha; Ashcroft, Michael B.; De Frenne, Pieter; Kopecký, Martin; ... more authors ( wiley , 2020 , Report)
      © 2020 John Wiley & Sons Ltd Current analyses and predictions of spatially explicit patterns and processes in ecology most often rely on climate data interpolated from standardized weather stations. This interpolated ...
