Improved methods for quantifying soil invertebrates during ecotoxicological tests: Chill comas and anesthetics [PDF]
Heliyon, 2023 Soil invertebrate ecotoxicological tests are important when making informed site-management decisions. However, traditional tests are time-consuming and require quantification of high numbers of soil invertebrates burrowed beneath the surface of soil.

Soil invertebrates of coniferous forests along a gradient of air pollution (Komi Republic) [PDF]
Biodiversity Data Journal, 2021 The role of soil invertebrates in the cycle of substances, soil-forming processes and the provision of ecosystem services is undeniable. Therefore, soil invertebrates are valuable in bioindication studies.

The impact of restoration methods for Solidago-invaded land on soil invertebrates [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 The belowground community structure of soil biota depends on plant composition and may be affected by invasive plant species. We hypothesized that the type of land restoration method applied affects the abundance and composition of soil invertebrates ...

Potential for Interspecies Toxicity Estimation in Soil Invertebrates [PDF]
Toxics, 2021 Interspecies correlation estimation (ICE) models are linear regressions that predict toxicity to a species with few data using a known toxicity value in a surrogate species.

Aboveground herbivory shapes the biomass distribution and flux of soil invertebrates. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 BACKGROUND: Living soil invertebrates provide a universal currency for quality that integrates physical and chemical variables with biogeography as the invertebrates reflect their habitat and most ecological changes occurring therein.

Soil invertebrates and ecosystem services
European Journal of Soil Biology, 2006 Invertebrates play significant, but largely ignored, roles in the delivery of ecosystem services by soils at plot and landscape scales. They participate actively in the interactions that develop in soil among physical, chemical and biological processes.

The Roles of Invertebrates in the Urban Soil Microbiome
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Urban soils differ from those in other managed ecosystems in many ways, including their heterogeneity, unique organic matter inputs and exposure to past and present anthropogenic activities.

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 ...

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.

The role of conservation soil management on soil and water protection at different spatial scales [PDF]
, 2006 Agriculture has a direct impact on the soil environment, altering soil properties, surface characteristics and erosion risk. This has led to a move away from conventional tillage to the adoption of conservation practices, aiming to minimise soil ...
