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

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]
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]
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.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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]
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).
