KBS012:Soil Invertebrates in Cropped and Successional Communities

<kbsml_text>

Soil invertebrates were sampled from the main cropping system
experiment (KBS004) via 7.5 cm diameter soil cores. Invertebrates were
extracted using modified Tullgren funnels for microarthropods and
macroarthropods and Baermann funnels for soil nematodes (Freckman, UC-
Riverside). Arthropods are classified to the lowest proctical taxon and further
classified, when possible, to functional feeding specialization (e.g.,
fungivore, bacterivore).
