Litter basal respiration, microbial biomass, total bacterial phospholipid fatty acids (PLFAs), and fungal PLFAs did not vary significantly with rainforest conversion. In litter of converted ecosystems, the concentration of certain PLFAs including the Gram-negative bacteria marker PLFA cy17:0 and the Gram-positive bacteria marker PLFA i17:0 was reduced as compared to rainforest, whereas the concentration of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) marker neutral lipid fatty acid (NLFA) 16:1 omega 5c increased. As indicated by redundancy analysis, litter pH and carbon concentration explained most of the variation in litter microbial community composition. In soil, microbial biomass did not vary significantly with rainforest conversion, whereas basal respiration declined. Total PLFAs and especially that of Gram-negative bacteria decreased, whereas PLFA i17:0 increased with rainforest conversion. The concentration of fungal PLFAs increased with rainforest conversion, whereas NLFA 16:1 omega 5c did not change significantly. Redundancy analysis indicated that soil pH explained most of the variation in soil microbial community composition. Overall, the data suggest that conversion of rainforests into production systems results in more pronounced changes in microbial community composition in soil as compared to litter. In particular, the response of fungi and bacteria was more pronounced in soil, while the response of AMF was more pronounced in litter. Notably, only certain bacterial markers but not those of saprotrophic fungi and AMF were detrimentally affected by rainforest conversion."],["dc.description.sponsorship","German Research Foundation (DFG) [CRC990]"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1007/s00374-015-1021-4"],["dc.identifier.isi","000359160800006"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/36417"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.relation","SFB 990: Ökologische und sozioökonomische Funktionen tropischer Tieflandregenwald-Transformationssysteme (Sumatra, Indonesien)"],["dc.relation","SFB 990 | B | B08: Struktur und Funktion des Zersetzersystems in Transformationssystemen von Tiefland-Regenwäldern"],["dc.relation.issn","1432-0789"],["dc.relation.issn","0178-2762"],["dc.subject.gro","sfb990_journalarticles"],["dc.title","Impact of tropical lowland rainforest conversion into rubber and oil palm plantations on soil microbial communities"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]Details DOI WOS2019Journal Article Research Paper [["dc.bibliographiccitation.firstpage","1845"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.issue","12"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.journal","Journal of Animal Ecology"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.lastpage","1859"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.volume","88"],["dc.contributor.author","Potapov, Anton M."],["dc.contributor.author","Klarner, Bernhard"],["dc.contributor.author","Sandmann, Dorothee"],["dc.contributor.author","Widyastuti, Rahayu"],["dc.contributor.author","Scheu, Stefan"],["dc.date.accessioned","2020-01-29T10:50:42Z"],["dc.date.available","2020-01-29T10:50:42Z"],["dc.date.issued","2019"],["dc.description.abstract","Many ecosystem functions depend on the structure of food webs, which heavily relies on the body size spectrum of the community. Despite that, little is known on how the size spectrum of soil animals responds to agricultural practices in tropical land-use systems and how these responses affect ecosystem functioning. We studied land-use-induced changes in below-ground communities in tropical lowland ecosystems in Sumatra (Jambi province, Indonesia), a hot spot of tropical rainforest conversion into rubber and oil palm plantations. The study included ca. 30,000 measured individuals from 33 high-order taxa of meso- and macrofauna spanning eight orders of magnitude in body mass. Using individual body masses, we calculated the metabolism of trophic guilds and used food web models to calculate energy fluxes and infer ecosystem functions, such as decomposition, herbivory, primary and intraguild predation. Land-use change was associated with reduced abundance and taxonomic diversity of soil invertebrates, but strong increase in total biomass and moderate changes in total energy flux. These changes were due to increased biomass of large-sized decomposers in soil, in particular earthworms, with their share in community metabolism increasing from 11% in rainforest to 59%-76% in jungle rubber, and rubber and oil palm plantations. Decomposition, that is the energy flux to decomposers, stayed unchanged, but herbivory, primary and intraguild predation decreased by an order of magnitude in plantation systems. Intraguild predation was very important, being responsible for 38% of the energy flux in rainforest according to our model. Conversion of rainforest into monoculture plantations is associated by an uneven loss of size classes and trophic levels of soil invertebrates resulting in sequestration of energy in large-sized primary consumers and restricted flux of energy to higher trophic levels. Pronounced differences between rainforest and jungle rubber reflect sensitivity of rainforest soil animal communities to moderate land-use changes. Soil communities in plantation systems sustained high total energy flux despite reduced biodiversity. The high energy flux into large decomposers but low energy fluxes into other trophic guilds suggests that trophic multifunctionality of below-ground communities is compromised in plantation systems."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1111/1365-2656.13027"],["dc.identifier.pmid","31111468"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/62878"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.relation","SFB 990: Ökologische und sozioökonomische Funktionen tropischer Tieflandregenwald-Transformationssysteme (Sumatra, Indonesien)"],["dc.relation","SFB 990 | B | B09: Oberirdische Biodiversitätsmuster und Prozesse in Regenwaldtransformations-Landschaften"],["dc.relation.eissn","1365-2656"],["dc.relation.issn","0021-8790"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Zentrum für Biodiversität und Nachhaltige Landnutzung"],["dc.subject.gro","sfb990_journalarticles"],["dc.title","Linking size spectrum, energy flux and trophic multifunctionality in soil food webs of tropical land-use systems"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]Details DOI PMID PMC2019Journal Article Research Paper [["dc.bibliographiccitation.firstpage","e02957"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.journal","Ecology"],["dc.contributor.author","Potapov, Anton M."],["dc.contributor.author","Dupérré, Nadine"],["dc.contributor.author","Jochum, Malte"],["dc.contributor.author","Dreczko, Kerstin"],["dc.contributor.author","Klarner, Bernhard"],["dc.contributor.author","Barnes, Andrew D."],["dc.contributor.author","Krashevska, Valentyna"],["dc.contributor.author","Rembold, Katja"],["dc.contributor.author","Kreft, Holger"],["dc.contributor.author","Brose, Ulrich"],["dc.contributor.author","Widyastuti, Rahayu"],["dc.contributor.author","Harms, Danilo"],["dc.contributor.author","Scheu, Stefan"],["dc.date.accessioned","2020-01-29T10:54:30Z"],["dc.date.available","2020-01-29T10:54:30Z"],["dc.date.issued","2019"],["dc.description.abstract","Deforestation and land-use change in tropical regions result in habitat loss and extinction of species that are unable to adapt to the conditions in agricultural landscapes. If the associated loss of functional diversity is not compensated by species colonizing the converted habitats, extinctions might be followed by a reduction or loss of ecosystem functions including biological control. To date, little is known on how land-use change in the tropics alters the functional diversity of invertebrate predators and which key environmental factors may mitigate the decline in functional diversity and predation in litter and soil communities. We applied litter sieving and heat extraction to study ground spider communities and assessed structural characteristics of vegetation and parameters of litter in rainforest and agricultural land-use systems (jungle rubber, rubber and oil palm monocultures) in a Southeast Asian hotspot of rainforest conversion: Sumatra, Indonesia. We found that (1) spider density, species richness, functional diversity and community predation (energy flux to spiders) were reduced by 57-98% from rainforest to oil palm monoculture; (2) jungle rubber and rubber monoculture sustained relatively high diversity and predation in ground spiders, but small cryptic spider species strongly declined; (3) high species turnover compensated losses of some functional trait combinations, but did not compensate for the overall loss of functional diversity and predation per unit area; (4) spider diversity was related to habitat structure such as amount of litter, understory density and understory height, while spider predation was better explained by plant diversity. Management practices that increase habitat structural complexity and plant diversity such as mulching, reduced weeding, and intercropping monocultures with other plants may contribute to maintaining functional diversity of and predation services provided by ground invertebrate communities in plantations."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1002/ecy.2957"],["dc.identifier.pmid","31840252"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/62879"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.relation","SFB 990: Ökologische und sozioökonomische Funktionen tropischer Tieflandregenwald-Transformationssysteme (Sumatra, Indonesien)"],["dc.relation","SFB 990 | B | B01: Structure, stability and functioning of macro-invertebrate communities in rainforest transformation systems in Sumatra (Indonesia)"],["dc.relation","SFB 990 | B | B06: Taxonomische, funktionelle, phylogenetische und biogeographische Diversität vaskulärer Pflanzen in Regenwald-Transformationssystemen auf Sumatra (Indonesien)"],["dc.relation","SFB 990 | B | B08: Struktur und Funktion des Zersetzersystems in Transformationssystemen von Tiefland-Regenwäldern"],["dc.relation.eissn","1939-9170"],["dc.relation.issn","0012-9658"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Zentrum für Biodiversität und Nachhaltige Landnutzung"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.subject.gro","sfb990_journalarticles"],["dc.title","Functional losses in ground spider communities due to habitat-structure degradation under tropical land-use change"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]Details DOI PMID PMC2018Journal Article Research Paper [["dc.bibliographiccitation.firstpage","255"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.issue","1"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.journal","Oecologia"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.lastpage","266"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.volume","187"],["dc.contributor.author","Krashevska, Valentyna"],["dc.contributor.author","Malysheva, Elena"],["dc.contributor.author","Klarner, Bernhard"],["dc.contributor.author","Mazei, Yuri"],["dc.contributor.author","Maraun, Mark"],["dc.contributor.author","Widyastuti, Rahayu"],["dc.contributor.author","Scheu, Stefan"],["dc.date.accessioned","2020-12-10T14:10:38Z"],["dc.date.available","2020-12-10T14:10:38Z"],["dc.date.issued","2018"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1007/s00442-018-4103-9"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/70828"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI Import GROB-354"],["dc.relation","SFB 990: Ökologische und sozioökonomische Funktionen tropischer Tieflandregenwald-Transformationssysteme (Sumatra, Indonesien)"],["dc.relation","SFB 990 | B | B08: Struktur und Funktion des Zersetzersystems in Transformationssystemen von Tiefland-Regenwäldern"],["dc.relation","SFB 990 | B | B13: Impact of management intensity and tree enrichment of oil palm plantations on below- and aboveground invertebrates in Sumatra (Indonesia)"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Zentrum für Biodiversität und Nachhaltige Landnutzung"],["dc.subject.gro","sfb990_journalarticles"],["dc.title","Micro-decomposer communities and decomposition processes in tropical lowlands as affected by land use and litter type"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]Details DOI2016Journal Article Research Paper [["dc.bibliographiccitation.artnumber","e0160179"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.issue","7"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.journal","PLoS ONE"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.volume","11"],["dc.contributor.author","Krashevska, Valentyna"],["dc.contributor.author","Klarner, Bernhard"],["dc.contributor.author","Widyastuti, Rahayu"],["dc.contributor.author","Maraun, Mark"],["dc.contributor.author","Scheu, Stefan"],["dc.date.accessioned","2018-11-07T10:11:27Z"],["dc.date.available","2018-11-07T10:11:27Z"],["dc.date.issued","2016"],["dc.description.abstract","Large areas of tropical rainforest are being converted to agricultural and plantation land uses, but little is known of biodiversity and ecological functioning under these replacement land uses. We investigated the effects of conversion of rainforest into jungle rubber, intensive rubber and oil palm plantations on testate amoebae, diverse and functionally important protists in litter and soil. Living testate amoebae species richness, density and biomass were all lower in replacement land uses than in rainforest, with the impact being more pronounced in litter than in soil. Similar abundances of species of high and low trophic level in rainforest suggest that trophic interactions are more balanced, with a high number of functionally redundant species, than in rubber and oil palm. In contrast, plantations had a low density of high trophic level species indicating losses of functions. This was particularly so in oil palm plantations. In addition, the relative density of species with siliceous shells was >50% lower in the litter layer of oil palm and rubber compared to rainforest and jungle rubber. This difference suggests that rainforest conversion changes biogenic silicon pools and increases silicon losses.

We investigated variations in community composition and trophic niches of soil and litter living centipedes in a range of ecosystems including rainforests, jungle rubber agroforests, and rubber and oil palm monocultures in two landscapes in Sumatra, Indonesia. Including information on environmental factors in the soil and litter habitat, we explored drivers shaping ecological niches of soil living invertebrate predators in one of the world's hotspots of rainforest conversion. Conversion of rainforests into agroforests and plantations was associated with a marked change in the composition of centipede communities. However, irrespective of major differences in habitat characteristics, changes in total abundances were small and the overall diversity and biomass of centipedes was similar in each of the systems investigated, suggesting that the number of ecological niches for this group of predators remains unchanged. By using stable isotope analysis (15N and 13C), we investigated trophic niche shifts of the centipede community; lower δ13C values of centipedes in oil palm plantations as compared to other ecosystems suggests that centipedes switch from decomposer prey to other prey, presumably understory associated herbivores, due to reduced availability of litter associated prey species.
