Pathways of biogenically excreted organic matter into soil aggregates
Abstract
Soil organisms are recognized as ecosystem engineers and key for aggregation in soil due to bioturbation, organic matter (OM) decomposition, and excretion of biogenic OM. The activity of soil organisms is beneficial for soil quality, functions, and nutrient cycling. These attributions are based on field-scale observations that link the presence and activity of organisms to spatiotemporal changes in soil properties and can be traced back to the...
