The Quarterly Review of Biology, 1940
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.

Herb litter mediates tree litter decomposition and soil fauna composition
, 2021Leaf litter from forest understorey species has very different characteristics (e.g. a higher nutrient content) which are regarded to be more palatable and digestible for the decomposer community compared to litter from the overstorey trees. Consequently,

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

Response of soil fauna to simulated global change factors depends on ambient climate conditions
, 2020Soils systems provide essential ecosystem functions and services performed by a hyperdiverse array of fauna, but how soil communities respond to climate change remains an understudied topic. Although previous long-term studies have found variable effects

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 ...

Soil Fauna and Sustainable Agriculture
2020In general, about 80–90% of the soil biological activity is carried out by soil fauna. Soil fauna has proved potentiality in soil formation and decomposition of waste materials. Of late, the importance of soil fauna in the functioning of soil ecosystem has been increasing gradually with integrated farming systems. Soil fauna mediate minute functions in

Even though Fusarium is an important genus of fungi, both phytopathogenic and toxigenic, that infects various cereals worldwide, the existing methods of Fusarium spp. suppression in agroecosystems are not sufficiently operative.
