Global Distribution of Soil Fauna Functional Groups and Their Estimated Litter Consumption across Biomes
International audience Abstract Soil invertebrates (i.e., soil fauna) are important drivers of many key processes in soils including soil aggregate formation, water retention, and soil organic matter transformation. Many soil fauna groups directly or indirectly participate in litter consumption. How...
