Edaphic Macrofauna in Maceió Municipal Park, Alagoas [PDF]
, 2021 The macrofauna is represented by organisms ≥ 2.0 mm, responsible for the decomposition of organic matter, seed dispersal, biological control, in addition to being considered indicators of soil quality.

Quantification of the inevitable: the influence of soil macrofauna on soil water movement in rehabilitated open-cut mined lands [PDF]
SOIL, 2016 Recolonisation of soil by macrofauna (especially ants, termites and earthworms) in rehabilitated open-cut mine sites is inevitable and, in terms of habitat restoration and function, typically of great value.

, 2020 Acting as an interface, soil provides numerous ecosystem services on which humanity depends: recycling of nutrients, primary production, carbon sequestration, resistance to erosion. Yet these functions could not be performed without soil-dwelling organisms.

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.ABSTRACT Natural ecosystem loss and deterioration in the quality of the urban environment due to rapid urbanization associated with soil pollution by mining activity have become a huge dilemma in the mining city of Lubumbashi (DR Congo). This study aimed to assess the importance attributed to trees through the expected services, species choice and ...

Semina: 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.

Structured machine learning modeling to support conservation of deep‐sea benthic biodiversity
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.Abstract Biodiversity monitoring programs need to deliver accurate, timely, and actionable predictions. To establish a predictive monitoring program for deep‐sea benthos of the Santos Basin, Brazil, we developed a two‐stage structured model that allowed comparison of biodiversity predictions obtained from environmental simulations (2M‐Sim).

Do natural disturbances have significant effects on sandy beach macrofauna of Southeastern Brazil? [PDF]
Zoologia (Curitiba), 2019 The role of morphodynamic features such as grain size, swash climate and wave action on the macrofauna of beaches are well-known. However, few studies have investigated natural disturbances as potential drivers of temporal community variations.

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 3, July–September 2026.By evaluating the translocation potential of the marine worm Armandia cirrhosa, we reveal that environmental gradients between donor and receptor sites drive significant changes in sediment‐reworking behaviours. These findings challenge traditional conservation assumptions, demonstrating that population persistence alone does not guarantee the return ...
