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.

Community diversity of soil meso-fauna indicates the impacts of oil exploitation on wetlands
Ecological Indicators, 2022 Soil meso-fauna can indicate ecological health and provide biotic metrics for evaluating ecosystem damage and environmental changes. However, the roles of the soil meso-fauna in wetlands affected by oil exploitation have rarely been studied.
