The Impact of Root-Derived Resources on Forest Soil Invertebrates Depends on Body Size and Trophic Position

Forest soil food webs have been assumed to be fueled substantially by root-derived resources. However, until today the flux of root-derived resources into soil animals has been investigated virtually exclusively using isotope labeling experiments, whereas studies on the consequences of disrupting th...
