Soil macrofauna in green manures preceding cotton growing [PDF]

Bioscience 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 ...

Reproduction on the Rocks: Life History of a Freshwater Macrobioeroding Bivalve. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
ABSTRACT Macrobioerosion, the excavation and removal of consolidated mineral substrates by macrofauna, is well established in marine systems, where macrobioeroders drive carbonate cycling, sediment production and habitat formation. In freshwater ecosystems, however, it has been documented in only a small number of invertebrate taxa and remains a poorly

Riding the Storm: Microeukaryote Community Responses to Hurricane Disturbance. [PDF]

J Eukaryot Microbiol
ABSTRACT Sandy beaches are dynamic ecosystems where terrestrial and marine organisms coexist, resulting in diverse communities where microeukaryotes (protists, microalgae, and meiofauna) are key drivers. Understanding their diversity patterns and responses to stressors is essential for elucidating ecological processes, yet information on this subject ...

Spatial and seasonal distributions of ten species of benthic macrofauna and twelve water environmental factors in a subtidal zone near the Daya Bay nuclear power plant

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
In this study, we analyzed the spatial and seasonal distributions of ten species of benthic macrofauna and 12 water environmental parameters at thirty-six sampling stations in the subtidal zone near the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant.

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

Biogeosciences, 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.

The role of soil macrofauna in the decomposition process of mahogany litter in the Wanagama Educational Forest, Yogyakarta, Indonesia [PDF]

BIO Web of Conferences
Soil fertility is determined by three components: physical, chemical, and biological components of the soil. Soil macrofauna is one of the biological components of the soil that can play an important role in the process of litter decomposition.

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

Floresta 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

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

Heliyon, 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 ...
