Regional conditions and land-use alter the potential contribution of soil arthropods to ecosystem services in grasslands

We investigated the impact of regional conditions and land-use intensity on eight selected arthropod taxa of Mesostigmata (Parasitidae), Oribatida (3 species), Collembola (1 species), Chilopoda (2 species) and Diplopoda (1 species) sampled in differently managed permanent grasslands of three German...
