Soil mesofauna of taiga burozems

Eurasian Soil Science, 2009
In the burozems of the plains, the composition of the invertebrates and saprophages (the prevailing primary destroyers) differed from that in the mountainous soils only by the absence of millipedes of the Geophilomorpha order. At the same time, the differences in these characteristics between the burozems and soddypodzolic soils of the neighboring ...

Mesofauna and Macrofauna in Soil and Litter of Mixed Plantations

2020
The cultivation of leguminous nitrogen-fixing tree species improves soil chemical properties, especially with regard to N, and has been identified to be ecologically and economically interesting in intercropped systems with Eucalyptus spp., although the effect of these mixed plantations on soil and litter invertebrates still is poorly understood.

Colonisation of a copper-decontaminated soil by micro- and mesofauna

Applied Soil Ecology, 1998
Abstract Leaching with aminoacid hydrolysate is a new method for the decontamination of soils polluted with heavy metals. After this treatment, the soil seems to provide ideal conditions for bacterial growth. To estimate further consequences of such decontamination for the soil biota, we studied the recolonisation by the micro- and mesofauna of ...

Micro Gondwana: Soil and Litter Mesofauna in the Subalpine and Alpine of North-West Nelson, Southern New Zealand [PDF]

New Zealand Journal of Zoology
Alpine ecosystems are vulnerable to the warming climate, yet alpine soil mesofauna remains the less studied part of NZ biodiversity. Here we present a survey of soil mesofauna communities of three mountain peaks in the Nelson-Tasman and Marlborough ...

Do alterations in mesofauna community affect earthworms?

Oecologia, 2015
Interactions between the saprotrophic animal groups that strongly control soil microbial activities and the functioning of detrital food webs, such as earthworms and mesofauna, are not well understood. Earthworm trophic and engineering activities strongly affect mesofauna abundance and diversity through various direct and indirect pathways. In contrast,

High mountain meadows mesofauna for pastures rehabilitation

2010 2nd International Conference on Chemical, Biological and Environmental Engineering, 2010
The aims of this work are to study a quantitative parity of dominant soil inhabitants in High-Mountainous pastures of the South Caucasus and to define inhabitants' roles in decomposition of plants. Species composition, horizontal and vertical distributions, seasonal dynamics were defined in soil layers by standard methods used in soil zoology.

Diversity of soil mesofauna in the Mariut region, Egypt

Zoology in the Middle East, 1996
Abstract Data on the soil mesofauna was collected at four sites in the Mariut region, Egypt. The animals were grouped into 17 taxa belong to 10 families, and were statistically treated by diversity indices, correspondence analysis and ascending hierarchic classification.

Changes in mesofauna abundance in peat soils drained for forestry

Forest Ecology and Management, 2000
Abstract Soil mesofauna community structure was studied in a drainage-succession continuum of peatland sites supporting Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) dominated stands in southern Finland. The numbers of Enchytraeidae, Collembola, Oribatida, Mesostigmata and Prostigmata in an 8-cm-deep surface peat layer were compared among a pristine undrained ...

Micro and mesofauna: Pioneering sustainable solutions for fly ash rejuvenation

Journal of Environmental Management
Persistent accumulation of fly ash, a byproduct of coal combustion, poses significant environmental challenges due to its elevated levels of toxicity, heavy metal contamination, and ecological issues. Present review explores the ecological significance and functional potential of microfauna and mesofauna in mitigating environmental impacts, focusing on
