Root-derived carbon and nitrogen from beech and ash trees differentially fuel soil animal food webs of deciduous forests.
Evidence is increasing that soil animal food webs are fueled by root-derived carbon (C) and also by root-derived nitrogen (N). Functioning as link between the above- and belowground system, trees and their species identity are important drivers structuring soil animal communities. A pulse labeling e...
