Litter decomposition driven by soil fauna, plant diversity and soil management in urban gardens
Simon Tresch,David Frey,Renée-Claire Le Bayon,Andrea Zanetta,Frank Rasche,Andreas Fliessbach,Marco Moretti +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that also in intensively managed urban green spaces, such as gardens, biodiversity of plants and soil fauna drives key ecosystem processes and urban planning strategies that integrate soil protecting management practices may help to maintain important ecosystem services.

Modification of the RUSLE slope length and steepness factor (LS-factor) based on rainfall experiments at steep alpine grasslands.
TL;DR: In this article, the slope length and slope steepness factor (LS-factor) were adapted for conditions experimentally observed at Swiss alpine grasslands to predict soil erosion risk.

A Gardener's Influence on Urban Soil Quality
Simon Tresch,Marco Moretti,Renée-Claire Le Bayon,Paul Mäder,Andrea Zanetta,David Frey,Andreas Fliessbach +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a comprehensive assessment of urban garden soil quality, including biotic and abiotic site characteristics combined with land-use history and garden management information in a multivariate evaluation.

Direct and indirect effects of urban gardening on aboveground and belowground diversity influencing soil multifunctionality.
Simon Tresch,David Frey,Renée-Claire Le Bayon,Paul Mäder,Bernhard Stehle,Bernhard Stehle,Andreas Fliessbach,Marco Moretti +7 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that to enhance soil functions, gardeners should increase plant diversity, and lower management intensity, to improve urban biodiversity and nature’s contribution to people.

Urban Soil Quality Assessment - A Comprehensive Case Study Dataset of Urban Garden Soils
Simon Tresch,Marco Moretti,Renée-Claire Le Bayon,Paul Mäder,Andrea Zanetta,David Frey,Bernhard Stehle,Bernhard Stehle,Anton Kuhn,Adolphe Munyangabe,Andreas Fliessbach +10 more
TL;DR: Soil is the foundation of ecosystem functioning in urban green spaces and provides key ecosystem as discussed by the authors, however, it is not suitable for urban areas with limited water supply and limited watershed.
