Appears in 7 processs and 19 steps. Everything below is linked: open a process to see it in context.
Top processes
- Feeding guild of the microarthropod: fungivore, litter feeder, predator or omnivore
- Fungivorous springtails (Folsomia, Onychiurus) graze hyphae selectively and shift fungal community composition
- Light grazing stimulates fungal respiration and growth; heavy grazing suppresses fungal biomass and litter decomposition
- and 3 more in this process
Soil fauna
4 steps- Collembola and mites graze hyphae and spores; moderate grazing stimulates hyphal regrowth and respiration, heavy grazing cuts hyphal biomass
- Grazing mineralizes nitrogen held in fungal biomass; fauna as a whole contribute roughly a third of N mineralization in studied agroecosystems (estimate)
- Grazers carry spores and bacteria on cuticles and in faeces, changing which fungi colonize next
