Soil food web changes during spontaneous succession at post mining sites: a possible ecosystem engineering effect on food web organization?

Parameters characterizing the structure of the decomposer food web, biomass of the soil microflora (bacteria and fungi) and soil micro-, meso- and macrofauna were studied at 14 non-reclaimed 1- 41-year-old post-mining sites near the town of Sokolov (Czech Republic).
