The 26 pages that link to Soil food web, each with the reason it gives.

• DecompositionRelated: Soil organisms consume remains and one another as decomposition proceeds.

• MyceliumNarrower topic: Mycelium decomposes organic matter and becomes food or habitat for soil organisms.

• Soil organic matterRelated: Its organisms consume residues and reshape organic matter through feeding and waste production.

• DetritivoreRelated: Detritivores connect dead organic material to predators and microbial consumers.

• EarthwormRelated: Earthworms consume organic matter and microbes while serving as prey for other animals.

• Soil biodiversityRelated: Food-web links show how soil organisms depend on and affect one another.

• Soil microbiomeNarrower topic: Microbes form its base and are consumed by protists and other soil organisms.

• MitesRelated: Mites occupy many positions in these networks, but their contributions are hard to measure.

• DetritusNarrower topic: Detritus fuels a network of consumers, predators, and decomposers belowground.

• NematodeRelated: Free-living nematodes occupy multiple feeding levels in soil communities.

• AcariRelated: Free-living mites occupy many roles in soil decomposition and predation.

• NematodaRelated: Free-living nematodes help regulate microbes and transfer nutrients through soil.

• CaecilianRelated: Caecilians connect soil invertebrate prey with larger predators.

• CentipedeRelated: Many centipedes are predators within these communities, regulating small invertebrates.

• MillipedeRelated: Millipedes connect plant litter to predators and decomposer microbes.

• Soil ecologyRelated: Feeding links show how energy and nutrients move through soil communities.

• Soil ecosystemBroader topic: It shows how energy and nutrients pass among roots, microbes, and soil animals.

• WoodlouseRelated: Woodlice process litter and also serve as prey within this network.

• Common mycorrhizal networkCompared with: Nematodes and grazers constantly eat hyphae, cutting network links that models assume persist.

• EntognathaRelated: Entognathans occupy several positions in these webs as consumers and prey.

• SymphylaRelated: Symphylans feed on root tissues and fungi and are potential prey for soil predators.

• Ground beetleRelated: Ground beetles connect prey populations with larger predators in these communities.

• LinyphiidaeRelated: Ground-dwelling linyphiids are predators in litter-associated food webs.

• SpringtailRelated: Springtails consume fungi and detritus and serve as prey for other soil animals.

• CercozoaRelated: Cercozoan predators connect bacterial production to larger soil consumers.

• NematologyRelated: Nematodes occupy several trophic positions and connect microbes, plants, and larger animals.
