Disturbance Size Can Be Compensated for by Spatial Fragmentation in Soil Microbial Ecosystems

One major interest in soil systems ecology is to maintain ecosystem functions. As soil is exposed to disturbances of different spatial configurations, identifying disturbance characteristics that still allow for maintaining functions is crucial. In macro-ecology, the influence of fragmentation on ec...
