title: Community dynamics and trophic niches of soil fauna in Central European forests
abstract: Global change is altering the state of forest ecosystems, threatening their integrity. A number of studies have reported declines in aboveground arthropod diversity over the last decade and indicated management practices or climate as the main drivers. However, belowground communities have rarely been studied in this context, and the extent to which patterns and associated drivers observed aboveground also apply to belowground communities remains unknown. Therefore, research is urgently needed t
