How feedback loops between meso- and macrofauna and organic residues contrasting in chemical quality determine decomposition dynamics in soils [PDF]

open access: yesHeliyon, 2023
The concept of feedback loops between changes in chemical quality of decomposing organic residues and changes in faunal communities was employed in studying how such feedback loops, representing distinct ecological successional stages, determine ...

Nitrous oxide emission by aquatic macrofauna [PDF]

open access: greenProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2009
A large variety of aquatic animals was found to emit the potent greenhouse gas nitrous oxide when nitrate was present in the environment. The emission was ascribed to denitrification by ingested bacteria in the anoxic animal gut, and the exceptionally high N 2 O-to-N 2

CHANGES IN SOIL MACROFAUNA IN AGROECOSYSTEMS DERIVED FROM LOW DECIDUOUS TROPICAL FOREST ON LEPTOSOLS FROM KARSTIC ZONES

open access: greenTropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems, 2009
In Yucatan Mexico the method of slash and burn is used for the establishment of pastures. Pastures are developed for 15 to 20 years, no more because weed control is too expensive.

Soil macrofauna in green manures preceding cotton growing

open access: yesBioscience Journal, 2020
The objective of this work was to evaluate the abundance of the soil macrofauna in four green manure species, before the cotton crop. The experimental design was a randomized block design with four treatments: Mucuna pruriens (gray mucuna), Canavalia ...

Stimulation of microbial nitrogen cycling in aquatic ecosystems by benthic macrofauna: mechanisms and environmental implications [PDF]

open access: yesBiogeosciences, 2013
Invertebrate animals that live at the bottom of aquatic ecosystems (i.e., benthic macrofauna) are important mediators between nutrients in the water column and microbes in the benthos.

Edaphic Macrofauna as a Recovery Indicator of Abandoned Areas of Corymbia citriodora in the Southeastern Brazil

open access: yesFloresta e Ambiente, 2019
The edaphic macrofauna may reflect changes in soil use. This study aimed to answer two questions: (1) Has the management of eucalyptus by girdling, promote stimulation or inhibition in the guilds of the edaphic macrofauna? (2) Can soil macrofauna be used

Soil macrofauna diversity and structure under different management of pine-coffee agroforestry system

open access: yesJournal of Degraded and Mining Lands Management, 2019
The role of tropical forests for maintaining environmental functions is decreasing due to the rapid changes to agricultural purposes. Agroforestry system is assumed to be an alternative system which reduces the negative impact of the conversion in term ...
