Litter Decomposition and Diversity of Soil Macrofauna on Industrial Plantation Forest of Nyawai

open access: yesJurnal Ilmu Kehutanan, 2017
The use of fast-growing tree species is necessary to meet the demand of timber. However, the information with regard the fertility of the soil for planting of these species is still limited.

Effects of compost application on soil macrofauna and soil functions in oil palm plantation – Biofunctool® approach [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Oil palm produces about 38.7% of all vegetable oil (palm oil and palm kernel oil, 2016) and its cultivation area reach in 18.7 million ha worldwide (mature plantations) in 2017.

The distribution of soil organic carbon and nitrogen across different soil depths in relation to household wealth in enset‐based farming systems in Central Ethiopia

open access: yesAgrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Soils serve as a major reservoir for atmospheric carbon and could play a key role in mitigating climate change. Since deep soil layers can store substantial amounts of organic carbon, they should be included in carbon and nitrogen estimates.

Hydrothermal activity lowers trophic diversity in Antarctic sedimented hydrothermal vents [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Sedimented hydrothermal vents are those in which hydrothermal fluid vents through sediment and are among the least studied deep-sea ecosystems. We present a combination of microbial and biochemical data to assess trophodynamics between and within ...

Biogeochemical consequences of macrofauna burrow ventilation† [PDF]

open access: yesGeochemical Transactions, 2001
The burrow walls created by macrofauna in aquatic sediments are sites of intense chemical mass transfer. Quantitative measurement of their significance is, however, difficult because chemistry in the immediate vicinity of burrow walls is temporally dynamic due to periodic ventilation of burrows by macrofauna.

Screening of Native Plant Species in the Artisanal Gold Mining Sites of Doko, Guinea: Perspectives for Phytoremediation

open access: yesCLEAN – Soil, Air, Water, Volume 54, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study focuses on phytoremediation in a gold mining‐contaminated area in Doko, Guinea. Plant, soil, and rhizospheric soil samples were collected and subjected to physicochemical analyses to quantify heavy metal content. Biological indicators: bioconcentration factor (BCF), translocation factor (TF), and biological accumulation coefficient (BAC ...

Dynamic of epigeous macrofauna under organic soil management in the Brazilian semi-arid region
Dinâmica da macrofauna epígea sob manejo orgânico do solo no semi-árido brasileiro

open access: yesSemina: Ciências Agrárias, 2012
Soil macrofauna is responsible for soil fertility through cycling of nutrients, tillage and fragmentation of organic matter, as well as through the association between groups of fauna with conserved and/or degraded pedoenvironments.

Meiofauna Biodiversity and Community Structures in the Barents Sea and Nansen Basin Are Influenced by Benthic Spatiotemporal Heterogeneity

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Benthic meiofauna in the Barents Sea were investigated for spatiotemporal variability and taxonomic composition. ABSTRACT Meiobenthic metazoans occur worldwide and are a cornerstone of aquatic ecosystems. Here, we investigate the composition of meiobenthic communities along a transect in the Barents Sea and Nansen Basin and provide the first ...

Metabarcoding Analysis Reveals Microbial Diversity and Its Environmental Drivers in the Pantanos de Villa Lagoons in Lima—Peru

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study characterized, for the first time, the microbial diversity in four lagoons of the Pantanos de Villa Wildlife Refuge in Lima, Peru, using 16S rRNA marker gene metabarcoding and identified the physicochemical drivers that influence the microbial community structure of these lagoons.

Spatial and temporal characteristics of benthic invertebrate communities at Culbin Sands lagoon, Moray Firth, NE Scotland, and impacts of the disturbance of cockle harvesting [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
In the present study, Culbin Sands lagoon, a protected site in NE Scotland, was surveyed every 2 to 4 weeks during a three-year period (1994-1996) to study benthic invertebrate communities. Beds of Mytilus edulis covered 18000 m(2).
