Composition and structure of soil fauna communities and their relationships with environmental factors in copper mine waste rock after re-vegetation

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation, 2021
The re-vegetation of acid mine waste rock from the Dexing copper (Cu) mine in Shuilong mountain has been conducted for more than 10 years. However, few studies have assessed the composition of soil fauna communities in this restored ecosystem.

Interactions between microplastics and soil fauna: A critical review

open access: yesCritical reviews in environmental science and technology, 2021
Microplastics (MPs) are emerging contaminants that cause diverse impacts on soil ecosystems. As integral members of soil food webs, soil fauna exert key ecological functions such as litter decomposition, nutrient cycling, and energy flow.
