Table S1 - Aboveground Herbivory Shapes the Biomass Distribution and Flux of Soil Invertebrates

Soil Taxonomical Inventory and Dominant Feeding-Strategies. Each taxon, regardless of the taxonomic resolution, is defined by a 5-digit code. The first digit (1 up to 9) provides information on the dominant feeding strategy as provided in Table S1: 1 = Plant-feeder, 2 = Fungivore, 3 = Bacterivore, 4 = Substrate ingestion, 5 = Predator of nematodes, 6 = Predator of arthropods, 7 = General predator (predator of nematodes and of microarthropods, but no parasitizing life stage), 8 = Omnivore (generalist, predator, plant-feeder and/or fungivore, possibly parasite), and 9 = Parasite (hosts are mites or nematodes; no passive dispersal of deutonymphs by phoresy). The second digit (0 up to 5) provides cladistic information: 0 = Bacterial cells (no taxonomical definition possible, all species lumped together), 1 = Nematoda, 2 = Acarina , 3 = Insecta (Collembola, Protura, Diplura, Myriapoda, Pauropoda, and Symphyla), 4 = Enchytraeidae, and 5 = Lumbricidae. The last three digits define the occurring taxon. The additional references are provided as well.
