Direct and indirect effects of urban gardening on aboveground and belowground diversity influencing soil multifunctionality [PDF]
, 2019 Urban gardens are popular green spaces that have the potential to provide essential ecosystem services, support human well-being, and at the same time foster biodiversity in cities.

Short-term mesofauna responses to soil additions of corn stover biochar and the role of microbial biomass [PDF]
, 2015 Biochar additions have been suggested to influence soil microbial communities that, through a cascade effect, may also impact soil fauna. In turn, any direct biochar effects on fauna can influence microbial communities through grazing, physical ...

Little influence of soil fauna on decomposition in successional upper Andean tropical forests
Soil Ecology LettersSoil fauna had little influence on decay rates, but the effect varied by species. Soil fauna richness and abundance did not influence decomposition environment. Body size traits of soil fauna were unrelated to decomposition environment.

Linking effect traits of soil fauna to processes of organic matter transformation
Functional EcologySoil organic matter (SOM) transformation processes are regulated by the activities of plants, microbes, and fauna. Compared with plants and microbes, effects of soil fauna are less understood because of their high taxonomic and functional diversity ...

Terrestrial molluscs of Pemba Island, Zanzibar, Tanzania, and its status as an "oceanic" island [PDF]
, 2010 Pemba is thought to have had a longer and/or stronger history of isolation than its better-known counterpart, Unguja. The extent to which the biota support this hypothesis of greater oceanicity have been debated.
