Soil Macrofauna Abundance and Taxonomic Richness under Long-Term No-Till Conservation Agriculture in a Semi-Arid Environment of South Africa

Agronomy, 2022
Soil macrofauna are a critical component for ecosystem function and strongly affect production sustainability. The effect of fertiliser management practices, in different cropping systems, on soil macrofauna communities remains poorly understood in semi ...

Agroecological heuristics: Xi (Ξ) biomathematical models of alpha diversity and Lambda functional entropy index (λ) applied for macrofauna in diversified agroecosystems of Nicaragua

Journal of Agriculture and Rural Development in the Tropics and Subtropics, 2021
Agriculture causes chaos on the macrofauna associated with agroecosystems. The functions developed by macrofauna species in agroecological environments are harmful, beneficial and fundamental for food production. In order to design Xi (Ξ) biomathematical

Soil macrofauna in areas with different successional vegetation stages after Eucalyptus grandis harvest in Brazil

Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2022
The objective of this study was to evaluate the composition of soil macrofauna over different periods after the harvest of Eucalyptus grandis to understand the ecological restoration process. Data collection was carried out in each climatic season by the

Influence of different Eucalyptus hybrids on soil macrofauna

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2021
The present work aimed to evaluate the influence of different eucalyptus hybrids on the edaphic macrofauna community. It is hypothesized that the density and diversity of edaphic fauna are influenced by the quantity and quality of the litter deposited by

Cold Seep Macrofauna

, 2023
AbstractIn deep-sea chemosynthetic ecosystems, macrofaunal diversity and distribution are determined by geochemical environments generated by fluid seepage. The South China Sea is located in the northwestern Pacific Ocean with a passive continental shelf, containing over 40 seep sites.

Soil macrofauna density and diversity across a chronosequence of tropical forest restoration in Southeastern Brazil

Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2017
Edaphic macrofauna must be better studied if we want to take advantage of their full potential for the restoration of tropical ecosystems. We investigated changes in edaphic macrofauna density and diversity along a secondary succession chronosequence in ...

sOilFauna - a global synthesis effort on the drivers of soil macrofauna communities and functioning

Soil Organisms, 2022
Understanding global biodiversity change, its drivers, and the ecosystem consequences requires a better appreciation of both the factors that shape soil macrofauna communities and the ecosystem effects of these organisms.

Replanting of first‐cycle oil palm results in a second wave of biodiversity loss

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Conversion of forest to oil palm plantations results in a significant loss of biodiversity. Despite this, first‐cycle oil palm plantations can sustain relatively high biodiversity compared to other crops.
