“…In correspondence with these findings collembola were important for shifting competition between arbuscular mycorrhizal and saprophytic fungi in the rhizosphere of the invasive grass Cynodon dactylon (Fig. 2) (Tiunov and Scheu 2005) and significant reductions of fungal plant pathogens have been reported in both laboratory and field studies for protozoa (Tapilskaja 1967;Chakraborty 1983), collembola (Sabatini and Innocenti 2001;Shiraishi et al 2003) and earthworms (Stephens and Davoren 1997;Clapperton et al 2001 ).…”

Rhizosphere fauna: the functional and structural diversity of intimate interactions of soil fauna with plant roots

For decades, the term "rhizosphere fauna" has been used as a synonym to denote agricultural pests among root herbivores, mainly nematodes and insect larvae. We want to break with this constrictive view, since the connection between plants and rhizosphere fauna is far more complex than simply that of resource and consumer. For example, plant roots have been shown to be neither defenceless victims of root feeders, nor passive recipients of nutrients, but instead play a much more active role in defending themselves and in attracting beneficial soil microorganisms and soil fauna. Most importantly, significant indirect feed-backs exist between consumers of rhizosphere microorganisms and plant roots. In fact, the majority of soil invertebrates have been shown to rely profoundly on the carbon inputs from roots, breaking with the dogma of soil food webs being mainly fueled by plant litter input from aboveground. In this review we will highlight areas of recent exciting progress and point out the black boxes that still need to be illuminated by rhizosphere zoologists and ecologists.

“…These insects seem to be somewhat refractory to infection by at least several isolates of fungal entomopathogens, and conidia were attractive to three species of Collembola (Dromph and Vestergaard 2002). Collembolan grazing can suppress Rhizoctonia solani Kühn and R. cerealis Hoeven, both in laboratory and field situations (Shiraishi et al 2003cited in Friberg et al 2005. Effects on entomopathogenic titers in soil are not known.…”

Ecological factors in the inundative use of fungal entomopathogens

Fungal entomopathogens have been developed in numerous countries as biocontrol agents with more than 100 mycoinsecticide products commercially available in 2006. The chief, perhaps sole, use of these mycoinsecticides has been as inundative agents, within a chemical paradigm. Large numbers of propagules are applied in an attempt to overwhelm by brute force many of the factors that keep a pathogen in nonepizootic equilibrium with its host. This review attempts to summarize what we know about the abiotic and biotic factors that affect the efficacy of these mycoinsecticides in both foliar and soil applications. Sunlight, humidity, temperature, and phylloplane-associated factors can affect both immediate efficacy and persistence on plants. Likewise, soil texture-moisture interactions, temperature, and a host of biotic factors can affect mycoinsecticides in the soil. Despite much research, our understanding of these ecological aspects is imperfect, especially in a holistic, dynamic sense.

“…In soil systems, plant diseases may be decreased by the selective feeding activity of soil fauna on pathogenic micro-organisms (e.g. Koehler 1999;Shiraishi et al 2003;Cole et al 2006). Plant pathogens, such as bacteria, fungi or plant parasitic nematodes, can be controlled by micro-organisms living in the rhizosphere (e.g.…”

Identifying and prioritising services in European terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems

Ecosystems are multifunctional and provide humanity with a broad array of vital services. Effective management of services requires an improved evidence base, identifying the role of ecosystems in delivering multiple services, which can assist policymakers in maintaining them. Here, information from the literature and scientific experts was used to systematically document the importance of services and identify trends in their use and status over time for the main terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems in Europe. The results from this review show that intensively managed ecosystems contribute mostly to vital provisioning services (e.g. agro-ecosystems provide food via crops and livestock, and forests provide wood), while semi-natural ecosystems (e.g. grasslands and mountains) are 123Biodivers Conserv (2010) 19:2791-2821 DOI 10.1007 key contributors of genetic resources and cultural services (e.g. aesthetic values and sense of place). The most recent European trends in human use of services show increases in demand for crops from agro-ecosystems, timber from forests, water flow regulation from rivers, wetlands and mountains, and recreation and ecotourism in most ecosystems, but decreases in livestock production, freshwater capture fisheries, wild foods and virtually all services associated with ecosystems which have considerably decreased in area (e.g. seminatural grasslands). The condition of the majority of services show either a degraded or mixed status across Europe with the exception of recent enhancements in timber production in forests and mountains, freshwater provision, water/erosion/natural hazard regulation and recreation/ecotourism in mountains, and climate regulation in forests. Key gaps in knowledge were evident for certain services across all ecosystems, including the provision of biochemicals and natural medicines, genetic resources and the regulating services of seed dispersal, pest/disease regulation and invasion resistance.
