The Himalaya presents an outstanding geologically active orogen and biodiversity hotspot. However, our understanding of the historical biogeography of its fauna is far from comprehensive. Many taxa… Expand
Fluxes of root-derived carbon into the nematode micro-food web of an arable soil
- J. Pausch, S. Hofmann, Anika Scharroba, Y. Kuzyakov, L. Ruess
- Biology
- 1 December 2016
Abstract Organic carbon (C) released from living roots forms a major resource for microorganisms controlling energy, C pathways and, hence, food web structure and dynamics. However, knowledge on… Expand
