TL;DR: It is shown that plant diversity effects dampen with increasing trophic level and degree of omnivory, and the results suggest that plant Diversity has strong bottom-up effects on multitrophic interaction networks, with particularly strong effects on lower trophIC levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Protozoa and plant growth: the microbial loop in soil revisited
TL;DR: Because the regulation of root architecture is a key determinant of nutrient- and water-use efficiency in plants, protozoa provide a model system that may considerably advance the understanding of the mechanisms underlying plant growth and community composition.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: High-resolution spatial maps of the global abundance of soil nematodes and the composition of functional groups show that soil nematode are found in higher abundances in sub-Arctic regions, than in temperate or tropical regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Slowing ageing by design: the rise of NAD+ and sirtuin-activating compounds.
TL;DR: The sirtuins (SIRT1-7) are a family of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)-dependent deacylases with remarkable abilities to prevent diseases and even reverse aspects of ageing as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term organic farming fosters below and aboveground biota: Implications for soil quality, biological control and productivity

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated in a comprehensive way soil chemical, as well as below and aboveground biological parameters of two organic and two conventional wheat farming systems that primarily differed in fertilization and weed management strategies.
