Soil Macroinvertebrate Presence Alters Microbial Community Composition and Activity in the Rhizosphere

Despite decades of research, our understanding of the importance of invertebrates for soil biogeochemical processes remains incomplete. This is especially true when considering soil invertebrate effects mediated through their interactions with soil microbes. The aim of this study was to elucidate ho...
