Humus forms are the seat of most biological transformations taking place in terrestrial ecosystems, being at the interface between plants, animals and microbes. The diversity of terrestrial humus forms (mor, moder and mull) can be…
What role do humus forms play in ecosystem functional biodiversity?The paper reveals that humus forms significantly influence ecosystem functional biodiversity by conditioning the development of plant, animal, and microbial communities. This relationship showcases how humus forms are hubs for self-conservation in terrestrial ecosystems.How do humus forms vary across different terrestrial ecosystems?The study demonstrates that humus forms, such as mull, moder, and mor, reflect distinct nutrient cycling strategies and biodiversity levels in ecosystems ranging from temperate to boreal forests. Each form corresponds to specific conditions influencing nutrient availability and organism diversity.What is the ecological significance of mull compared to moder and mor?Mull ecosystems exhibit higher biodiversity and nutrient cycling due to the presence of megafauna and macrofauna, with a rapid turnover of nutrients. Contrarily, mor forms have low biological activity, resulting in limited nutrient availability and reduced plant productivity.
