Soil fauna effects on litter decomposition are better predicted by fauna communities within litterbags than by ambient soil fauna communities [PDF]
Plant and Soil, 2023 Aims: Soil fauna is one of the major drivers of plant litter decomposition. This study aims to assess how soil fauna density and diversity may affect litter decomposition.

Soil fauna includes earthworms, collembolans, mites, nematodes, and protozoa. These are eukaryotic, heterotrophic, motile organisms that require oxygen for metabolism. Their physical range, habitats, and food resources are constrained by their respective sizes and the availability of pores of appropriate size within the soil.

Significant effects of soil fauna on soil structure are achieved mainly by a few groups among the larger soil invertebrates that are widely distributed and generally present in large numbers. Of these groups the most important are earthworms, termites and ants.

The widespread use of insecticides1 and herbicides has greatly benefited agriculture, but has also led to many problems. One of the more important of these is that they may affect animals against which the chemicals are not directed, and which may be beneficial. Invertebrates that live in soil can be killed not only by chemicals applied directly to the

I NVESTIGATIONS during the last twenty years have revealed a microcosm within the soil and its litter, which is as complex as that of fresh water. In contrast to the plancton, the geenton is specialized for slow movement through a dense granular medium.

Similar to plant and other animal taxa, urban soil biodiversity is determined by both natural and anthropogenic factors which has been proposed as a framework for urban soil studies. A majority of studies evaluates urban soil fauna by using orders or larger taxa.

Soil Fauna and Soil Microflora as Possible Indicators of Soil Pollution
Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 1983Research on biological indicators of soil pollution is hampered by soil variability and temporal and spatial fluctuations of numbers of soil animals. These characters on the other hand promote a high biological diversity in the soil. A high diversity combined with persistent soil pollutants increases the chance to select good indicators.

A soil fauna index for assessing soil quality
Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2012The characteristics of the faunal community in soil are closely related to soil quality. Using the soil faunal community as an indicator of soil quality is not cost-effective because of the complex taxonomic distinction and identification required, moreover; the power of the assessment is weak in relation to soil function. Recently, a functional method

Effects of isobenzan on soil fauna and soil structure
New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, 1968Abstract The insecticide isobenzan applied to pasture for pest control has had serious side‐effects on beneficial soil animals and soil structure. In a field trial at Halkett, on Hatfield fine sandy loam, the populations of all recorded faunal members, except nematodes, were drastically reduced and soil bulk density significantly ...
