Quantifying the impact of groundwater fauna and temperature on the ecosystem service of microbial carbon degradation; a proof-of-principle approach

Abstract Groundwater ecosystems fulfil functions that humankind relies upon, e.g. for sustainable drinking water production. Quantification of these services is lacking so far. Thus, it is not possible to predict scenarios (e.g. future climates). Based on data from a comprehensiv...
