Pesticides and Soil Invertebrates: A Hazard Assessment
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2021 Agricultural pesticide use and its associated environmental harms is widespread throughout much of the world. Efforts to mitigate this harm have largely been focused on reducing pesticide contamination of the water and air, as runoff and pesticide drift ...

Protura are unique: first evidence of specialized feeding on ectomycorrhizal fungi in soil invertebrates. [PDF]
BMC Ecol, 2019 BackgroundEctomycorrhizal fungi (ECM) play a central role in nutrient cycling in boreal and temperate forests, but their role in the soil food web remains little understood. One of the groups assumed to live as specialised mycorrhizal feeders are Protura,

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022 The accumulation of plastics in the environment is a major problem in the Anthropocene. As most plastic is produced, used and discarded on land, ∼4–23 times more plastics are deposited in soils than in the oceans.

Comparative toxicity of imidacloprid and thiacloprid to different species of soil invertebrates. [PDF]
Ecotoxicology, 2017 Neonicotinoid insecticides have come under increasing scrutiny for their impact on non-target organisms, especially pollinators. The current scientific literature is mainly focused on the impact of these insecticides on pollinators and some aquatic ...

A Thesaurus for Soil Invertebrate Trait-Based Approaches [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Soil invertebrates are known to be much involved in soil behaviour and therefore in the provision of ecosystem services. Functional trait-based approaches are methodologies which can be used to understand soil invertebrates' responses to their environment. They (i) improve the predictions and (ii) are less dependent on space and time.

Organic wastes as soil amendments – Effects assessment towards soil invertebrates
Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2017 Using organic wastes, as soil amendments, is an important alternative to landfilling with benefits to soil structure, water retention, soil nutrient and organic matter concentrations. However, this practice should be monitored for its environmental risk due to the frequent presence, of noxious substances to soil organisms.

An abundance of soil invertebrates in young and mature palm oil plot in relations to soil physical properties: A preliminary study [PDF]
Journal of Bioscience and Applied Research, 2020 The soil biota is considered the biological engine of the earth and is associated with most of the critical functions of the soil in terms of ecosystem services.
