Faunal stage-dependent altering of soil nitrogen availability in a temperate forest

Original language description

Functional traits of organisms often depend on their developmental stages during growth. However, whether the ecological functions of organisms change at different developmental stages remains poorly understood, especially for soil animals. The train millipede, Parafontaria laminata, which has a synchronised life cycle, often dominates in soil invertebrate communities in central Japan. Because adults of this species are litter-feeders and larvae are soil-feeders, we hypothesised that the train millipedeassumes a different role in of the cycling of nitrogen (N) depending on its developmental stage. To determine the effects of P. laminata on N retention or loss in temperate forest soil, millipede density was manipulated in two mesocosm experiments usingadult and larval millipedes. We found strong evidence that the effects of P. laminata on N dynamics differ between millipede developmental stages.
