Assessing the variability and vulnerability of carbon function in coastal soft sediment ecosystems to inform protection. [PDF]

Ecol Appl
Abstract Coastal soft sediment ecosystems can sequester and process large quantities of carbon, making these environments important in mitigating the impacts of climate change. However, demersal fishing methods can resuspend sediment, releasing CO2, and in the longer term change the physical, biological, and biogeochemical characteristics of the ...

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

Journal 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 ...

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 ...

Effects of hypoxia on benthic macrofauna and bioturbation in the Estuary and Gulf of St. Lawrence, Canada [PDF]

, 2010
The bottom water in the 4300 m deep Lower St. Lawrence Estuary (LSLE) is persistently hypoxic in contrast to the normoxic bottom waters in the Gulf of St. Lawrence (GSL). We photographed the seabed at 11 stations in the Estuary and Gulf of St.

Technical note: The effects of five different defaunation methods on biogeochemical properties of intertidal sediment [PDF]

, 2012
Various methods have been used to remove organisms from sediments to investigate structure and function of faunal assemblages in intertidal habitats. Nevertheless, little is known about how these treatments affect properties of the sediments themselves ...

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

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.

Soil macrofauna correlations with soil chemical and physical properties and crop sequences under no-tillage [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2023
Soil macrofauna is an important indicator of soil quality, as it is sensitive to changes in the environment as a result of soil management, which includes soil chemical and physical properties and the diversity of cultivated species.
