Impact of different farming systems on epigeic beneficial arthropods and earthworm fauna in arable crops. Dissertation [PDF]

, 2004
In dieser Arbeit wurden die Auswirkungen unterschiedlicher traditioneller (konventionell, integriert) und biologischer (organisch-biologisch, bio-dynamisch) Anbausysteme auf die epigäischen Nutzarthropoden und die Regenwurmfauna untersucht.

Dissimilar response of plant and soil biota communities to long-term nutrient adition in grasslands [PDF]

, 2009
The long-term effect of fertilizers on plant diversity and productivity is well known, but long-term effects on soil biota communities have received relatively little attention.

Toxicity of Pb and of Pb/Cd combination on the springtail Folsomia candida in natural soils: Reproduction, growth and bioaccumulation as indicators [PDF]

, 2012
The toxicity of Pb and Cd+Pb was assessed on the Collembola F. candida in two cultivated soils (SV and AU) with low organic matter (OM) content and circumneutral to basic pH, and an acid forested soil (EPC) with high OM content.

The effect of organic farming systems on aspects of the environment - desk study OF0123 [PDF]

, 1995
Key Conclusions 1. The crop rotations of organic systems maintain landscape diversity and biodiversity whilst the maintenance of field boundaries on organic units produces benefits to a wide range of organisms. 2. Inorganic nitrogen fertilisation and

Characteristics of fauna community structure and its relationship to soil physico-chemical properties in tea plantation soil

浙江大学学报. 农业与生命科学版, 2010
In order to investigate the ecological changes caused by the conversion of wasteland to tea plantation in the low mountains and hills in Mingshan County, western Sichuan, the differences between tea and mixed plantations in terms of soil fauna, its ...

Collaborative Changes between Soil Fauna and Urbanization Gradients in Guangzhou’s Remnant Forests

Urban Science
Remnant forests are vital in urban ecosystems as they serve as a crucial link between organisms, inorganic environments, and human settlements. However, there is a lack of research on how urbanization affects the physical and chemical properties of soil ...

Soil total carbon as a key factor affects soil biota attributes in plant mixtures over time: A meta-analysis

Geoderma
Studies have determined that soil biota have distinct responses to plant richness. However, the potential mechanisms that regulate soil biota (microbes and fauna) attributes (biomass, activity, and abundance) to plant mixtures over experimental time are ...

Soil fauna and soil functions: a jigsaw puzzle [PDF]

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2014
Terrestrial ecologists and soil modelers have traditionally portrayed the inhabitants of soil as a black box labeled as soil fauna or decomposers or detritivores assuming that they just merely recycle the deposited dead plant material. Soil is one of the most diverse habitats on Earth and contains one of the most diverse assemblages of living organisms;

Contribution of Soil Fauna to Foliar Litter-Mass Loss in Winter in an Ecotone between Dry Valley and Montane Forest in the Upper Reaches of the Minjiang River.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Litter decomposition during winter can provide essential nutrients for plant growth in the subsequent growing season, which plays important role in preventing the expansion of dry areas and maintaining the stability of ecotone ecosystems.
