Do alterations in mesofauna community affect earthworms?
Oecologia, 2015Interactions 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, 2010The 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.

Long-Term Observations of Soil Mesofauna
2010General problems connected with planning, sampling, and data processing of long-term research of soil mesofauna are discussed, based on two case studies: (i) the Bremen study of predatory mites (Gamasina) covering 20 years of secondary succession on a ruderal site in northern Germany and (ii) the Mazsalaca study of the effects of climate warming on ...

Population dynamics of soil mesofauna in Soybean
Indian Journal of Entomology, 2019This study is on the interaction between soil biological characteristics and weather factors with an field experiment conducted at the UAS, GKVK, Bengaluru. Significant difference in abundance of soil fauna was documented among the treatments, of which the best treatment (20 t farm yard manure/ha) for mesofauna was correlated with weather factors ...

Soil mesofauna of taiga burozems
Eurasian Soil Science, 2009In 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 ...

Assessment of soil biological degradation using mesofauna
Soil and Tillage Research, 2011Abstract The aim of this work was to assess soil degradation by means of simple and relatively easy to measure biological indicators derived from mesofauna, and to provide criteria to derive threshold values from benchmark sites. We hypothesized (1) that simple biological attributes may be derived from soil mesofauna to be used as soil biological ...

Interactions Between Soil Mesofauna and Edible Ectomycorrhizal Mushrooms
2020The ecological relationships between soil organisms are the result of the diversity present in a determined space and time, forming functional networks of biological activity. The mesofauna–fungal sporome interactions link the ecology of the mesofauna with the biology and function of the sporomes, allowing the sporome to be viewed as a reservoir of ...

Macrofauna and mesofauna from soil contaminated by oil extraction
Geoderma, 2018Abstract Mexico is an oil producing country; the extraction of oil on land has left many sites with soil contaminated by oil spills. The aim of our study was to determine the impact of this contamination on the soil fauna; thus we compared the macro and mesofauna from a non contaminated soil to a moderately and highly polluted soil caused by oil ...

Micro and mesofauna: Pioneering sustainable solutions for fly ash rejuvenation
Journal of Environmental ManagementPersistent 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
