Ecotoxicological effects of plastics on plants, soil fauna and microorganisms: A meta-analysis.

Environmental Pollution, 2022
The interactions of plastics and soil organisms are complex and inconsistent observations on the effects of plastics have been made in published studies.

Microplastics in soil ecosystems: soil fauna responses to field applications of conventional and biodegradable microplastics.

Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2022
Although biodegradable plastics are considered an environmentally-friendly alternative to conventional plastics, the effects of biodegradable microplastics (BMPs) on soil faunal communities are poorly understood, especially under field conditions.

Extractable additives in microplastics: A hidden threat to soil fauna.

Environmental Pollution, 2021
Microplastics (MPs) have become an emerging threat for organisms. However, the toxicity mechanisms on biota, especially soil biota remain largely unclear.

Effects of biochar addition on soil fauna communities—A meta‐analysis

Soil Use and Management
Soil fauna is an important part of global biodiversity and plays a vital role in ecosystems. The microbial communities in soil fauna can have significant impacts on soil fertility, as microbial communities play a pivotal role in soil function by ...

Soil fauna and soil structure

Australian Journal of Soil Research, 1991
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.

Pesticides and the soil fauna

1973
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

Effects of canopy nitrogen addition on soil fauna and litter decomposition rate in a temperate forest and a subtropical forest

Geoderma, 2021
Traditionally, experiments testing the impacts of nitrogen (N) deposition on ecosystem processes have been conducted by adding N directly to forest floors, yet, in reality, atmospheric N passes through the canopy layer before it reaches the forest floor.

Cellulose dominantly affects soil fauna in the decomposition of forest litter: A meta-analysis

Geoderma, 2020
Litter decomposition is widely acknowledged as a vital connection that links aboveground and belowground ecological processes, including the formation of soil organic matter and nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems.

A global meta-analysis reveals a consistent reduction of soil fauna abundance and richness as a consequence of land use conversion.

Science of the Total Environment
Land use conversion of natural to production systems is one of the most important threats to belowground communities and to the key ecosystem processes in which they are involved. Available literature shows positive, negative, and neutral effects of land
