Water, rather than temperature, dominantly impacts how soil fauna affect dissolved carbon and nitrogen release from fresh litter during early litter decomposition [PDF]
, 2016 Longstanding observations suggest that dissolved materials are lost from fresh litter through leaching, but the role of soil fauna in controlling this process has been poorly documented.

Two new species of Cavernocepheus (Acari, Oribatida, Otocepheidae) from Malawi
Acarologia, 2022 The oribatid mite genus Cavernocepheus (Oribatida, Otocepheidae) is recorded for the first time in Malawi. Two new species of the subgenus Cavernocepheus (Paracavernocepheus) — C. (P.) hlavaci n. sp. and C. (P.) mulanjensis n. sp.

A survey of lifespans in Oribatida excluding Astigmata (Acari)
Zoosymposia, 2021 This contribution provides an update on the duration of life cycles and lifespans of oribatid mites based on a literature review. The total lifespan is the sum of the immature developmental time (egg to adult) and the longevity of the adult.

Applied Sciences, 2021 The samples of two technogenic sediments (MOS, coal ash sediment; MOD, a mixture of ash and natural soil) and two natural soils (MOM, meadow; MOF—forest; both Cambisol Dystric) in the vicinage of the coal ash basin were studied. We evaluated risk element

Diatom and microarthropod communities of three airfields in Estonia – Their differences and similarities and possible linkages to airfield properties [PDF]
, 2018 Even though airfields, which are often anthropologically modified natural areas, are continuously influenced by human activities, their soils are still dynamic ecosystems containing various habitats for microscopic groups of organisms which are
