Soil fauna: key to new carbon models [PDF]
SOIL, 2016 Abstract. Soil organic matter (SOM) is key to maintaining soil fertility, mitigating climate change, combatting land degradation, and conserving above- and below-ground biodiversity and associated soil processes and ecosystem services. In order to derive management options for maintaining these essential services provided by soils, policy makers depend

Enhancement of soil microbial community stability by earthworms and collembolans in soil from abandoned coal mine lands [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologySoil fauna play a critical role in the restoration of abandoned mining areas, uniquely contributing to soil formation, development, and the rehabilitation of degraded soils. This role is intricately linked with miwcrobial activity.

Soil fauna and global change [PDF]
, 2003 To examine possible effects of global change on soil fauna abundance and diversity, two long-term field experiments in Norway spruce stands in Sweden were studied. Soil fauna (Oribatida, Mesostigmata, Collembola, predatory macroarthropods and Enchytraeidae) were sampled in plots experimentally simulating altered precipitation patterns and increased ...
