Prescribed Burning and Populations of Soil Mesofauna
Environmental Entomology, 1973Mesofauna was collected over a period of 10 months on plots which were not burned (control), burned periodically, and burned annually. The number of animals on the control and periodic burn plots was significantly greater than on the annual burn plots.

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 ...

Colonisation of a copper-decontaminated soil by micro- and mesofauna
Applied Soil Ecology, 1998Abstract 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 ...

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.

Diversity of soil mesofauna in the Mariut region, Egypt
Zoology in the Middle East, 1996Abstract 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.

Mesofauna and Macrofauna in Soil and Litter of Mixed Plantations
2020The 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.

Mesofauna in soils of the ivolga depression (Western Transbaikal region)
Eurasian Soil Science, 2007Mesofauna of chestnut, meadow-chestnut, meadow alluvial, clayey mucky-gley swampy alluvial soils, and hydromorphic solonchaks has been studied within the Ivolga depression. Variations in the population density of soil invertebrates (from 29.9 to 284.3 specimens per m2) are controlled by the particular soil ecological conditions.

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 ...
