- W2072628513 abstract "In this review we compile results on interactions above and below ground and food web functioning in an arid environment at the Baza Basin, in the Iberian southeast. Our data reveal that herbivory is difficult to estimate in our system. Some herbivores (rabbits) and granivores (Messor ants) create nutrient and detritus-rich patches, with important effects on the diversity and abundance of species both above and below ground. Fluctuations of prey availability, especially those caused by changes in their circadian rhythms, provoke seasonal migrations and omnivory in predators. We also present experimental evidence of the effects of interactions between aboveground and belowground macroarthropods on litter degradation; belowground detritivores are responsible for a high percentage of ground surface litter decomposition. We demonstrate that belowground herbivores and decomposers can dramatically change aboveground multitrophic interactions. Finally, we identify the biotic and abiotic factors controlling aboveground and belowground macrofaunal distribution at a broad scale. We conclude that trophic interactions in this semi-arid area are numerous and complex with many of the interactions involving more than two or three organisms. The interactions between above- and belowground organisms added complexity to this system. These habitats in which organisms deal with extreme abiotic conditions promote odd interactions resulting in an increase of biodiversity. Finally, despite the large research effort devoted to understanding food web structure and dynamics in this area recently, our state of knowledge is still far from providing a complete picture of interactions and their implications in the regulation and functioning of the system." @default.
