Impact of emerging compound droughts on forests: A water supply and demand perspective

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review examines the physiological and ecological responses of trees to emerging compound droughts from a water demand and supply perspective, as well as the role of acclimation and consequences for ecosystem‐level functions. Abstract The intensification of climate change‐induced drought results in unprecedented tree and forest die‐offs worldwide ...

Effects of Agricultural Practices on Biodiversity: A Review

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The loss of biodiversity has become a major concern in the 21st century. The current agricultural model is one of the main drivers of biodiversity loss; however, agriculture can also help maintain and even promote biodiversity. Therefore, the understanding of the consequences of agricultural practices on the different compartments of ...

Effects of Soil Quality Decline on Soil-Dwelling Mesofaunal Communities in Agricultural Lands of the Mollisols Region, China

Agriculture
Soil quality decline can adversely affect ecosystem health and land productivity, with soil-dwelling mesofauna considered to potentially fulfill vital functions in accurately predicting these outcomes. However, the current state of research reveals a gap

Variation in Community-Level Trophic Niches of Soil Microarthropods With Conversion of Tropical Rainforest Into Plantation Systems as Indicated by Stable Isotopes (15N, 13C)

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Land-use change is threatening biodiversity worldwide and is predicted to increase in the next decades, especially in tropical regions. Most studies focused on the response of single or few species to land-use change, only few investigated the response ...

Unravelling collembolan life belowground: Stoichiometry, metabolism and release of carbon and nitrogen [PDF]

, 2007
This thesis investigated carbon and nitrogen dynamics of soil dwelling Collembola by using direct measurements and stable isotope additions. In an isotope change experiment, collembolans exchanged between 6 and 10% of carbon and nitrogen in their body ...

Functionally diverse stands promote leaf litter decomposition irrespective of litter species' resource acquisition strategy

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 706-719, March 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Stand functional diversity (RaoQ) and stand functional composition in terms of the functional traits of the component species (CWM trait) are critical for ecosystem processes and functioning, such as litter decomposition and associated nutrient cycling.

Global meta-analysis reveals differential effects of climate and litter quality on soil fauna-mediated litter decomposition across size classes

Geoderma
Litter decomposition is significantly influenced by soil fauna, litter quality, and climate. Effects of soil fauna on litter decomposition are largely dependent on the size classes of the fauna.

Habitat Modification by Grazing Lawns Reduces Soil Mite Diversity in a South African National Park

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil mesofauna are an integral part of the functioning of an ecosystem. They are relatively small in body size, occur in varying habitats and operate in a range of ecological niches. Soil mites are quite sensitive to changes in their environment and contribute to several important ecosystem services in their environments.
