ABSTRACT Alpine ecosystems are vulnerable to the warming climate, yet alpine soil mesofauna remains the less studied part of NZ biodiversity. Here we present a survey of soil mesofauna communities of three mountain peaks in the Nelson‐Tasman and Marlborough regions of the South Island of New Zealand.

Life history traits in microarthropods: Evidence for a soil animal economics spectrum
Evolution optimizes the performance of living organisms through budgeting of limited resources, leading to life-history trade-offs. Many life-history traits are related to body size with larger species typically exhibiting a slower pace of life and lower

ABSTRACT Soil is a key compartment providing important ecosystem services for sustainable agriculture. Our study examined the effects of three inter‐row vegetation types on soil biological activity, mesofauna, and organic matter decomposition in 15 Mediterranean vineyards of South‐eastern France. The three vegetation types included inter‐rows sown with
