Tropical terrestrial model ecosystems for evaluation of soil fauna and leaf lit...
Förster,Bernhard; Garcia,Marcos; Höfer,Hubert; Morgan,Edward; Römbke,JörgThe aim of this work was to evaluate whether terrestrial model ecosystems (TMEs) are a useful tool for the study of the effects of litter quality, soil invertebrates and mineral fertilizer on litter decomposition and plant growth under controlled conditions in the tropics. Forty-eight intact soil cores (17.5-cm diameter, 30-cm length) were taken out from an abandoned rubber plantation on Ferralsol soil (Latosso...
Ring-Testing and Field-validation of a Terrestrial Model Ecosystem (TME) – An I...
Paulo Sousa, J.; Rodrigues, José M.L.; Loureiro, Susana; Soares, Amadeu M.V.M.; Jones, Susan E.; Förster, Bernhard; Van Gestel, Cornelis A.M.The effects of carbendazim on substrate induced respiration (SIR), dehydrogenase activity (DHA), phosphatase activity and thymidine incorporation by bacteria were evaluated in an experiment with an open intact Terrestrial Model Ecosystem (TME) and in a simultaneous field-validation study. Experiments were performed on four different European soils in Germany, The Netherlands, United Kingdom and Portugal. Data a...

Förster, Bernhard; Van Gestel, Cornelis A.M.; Koolhaas, Josée E.; Nentwig, Gerrit; Rodrigues, José M.L.; Sousa, J. Paulo; Jones, Susan E.Organic matter (OM) decomposition and soil fauna feeding activity were integrated as functional endpoints into ecotoxicological tests with intact-soil-core Terrestrial Model Ecosystems (TMEs). Cellulose filter paper served as standardized OM and was either inserted into the top soil or placed on the soil surface for a period of up to 16 weeks. Faunal feeding activity was assessed by the bait-lamina method. The ...
