Soil macrofauna communities in Brazilian land-use systems [PDF]

Biodiversity Data Journal, 2023
Soil animal communities include more than 40 higher-order taxa, representing over 23% of all described species. These animals have a wide range of feeding sources and contribute to several important soil functions and ecosystem services. Although many studies have assessed macroinvertebrate communities in Brazil, few of them have been published in ...

Soil macrofauna response to integrated soil fertility management under maize monocropping in Zimbabwe [PDF]

Heliyon, 2021
The continued decline in both populations and diversity of soil macrofauna in agroecosystems remains a major concern for sustainable food production in Southern Africa. Macrofauna abundance and diversity were examined in a maize monocropping system following repeated incorporation of Calliandra calothyrsus, Crotalaria juncea, cattle manure, maize ...

Influence of different Eucalyptus hybrids on soil macrofauna [PDF]

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2021
The present work aimed to evaluate the influence of different eucalyptus hybrids on the edaphic macrofauna community. It is hypothesized that the density and diversity of edaphic fauna are influenced by the quantity and quality of the litter deposited by

Soil macrofauna in green manures preceding cotton growing

Bioscience Journal, 2020
The objective of this work was to evaluate the abundance of the soil macrofauna in four green manure species, before the cotton crop. The experimental design was a randomized block design with four treatments: Mucuna pruriens (gray mucuna), Canavalia ...

Effects of Alpine land‐use changes: Soil macrofauna community revisited [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, 2017
AbstractAlthough soil invertebrates play a decisive role in maintaining ecosystem functioning, little is known about their structural composition in Alpine soils and how their abundances are affected by the currently ongoing land‐use changes. In this study, we re‐assessed the soil macrofauna community structure of managed and abandoned Alpine ...

Towards an ecological index for tropical soil quality based on soil macrofauna [PDF]

Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, 2009
The objective of this work was to construct a simple index based on the presence/absence of different groups of soil macrofauna to determine the ecological quality of soils.

Influence of soil macrofauna on soil organic carbon content

Environmental Protection and Natural Resources, 2018
Macrofauna plays a very important role in the functioning of the natural environment. It plays an important role in the decomposition of organic matter by mixing and crushing organic matter in soil.

Soil macrofauna correlations with soil chemical and physical properties and crop sequences under no-tillage [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2023
Soil macrofauna is an important indicator of soil quality, as it is sensitive to changes in the environment as a result of soil management, which includes soil chemical and physical properties and the diversity of cultivated species.

Soil macrofauna as bioindicator of the recovery of degraded Cerrado soil [PDF]

Ciência Rural, 2020
ABSTRACT: The construction of the hydroelectric power plant of Ilha Solteira, in state of São Paulo, was initiated in the 1960s, when an average, 8.60 m of soil depth was removed, resulting in a degraded area. A plan for the recovery of the area started in 2005 in Selvíria /MS with the use of plant species adapted to the Cerrado biome. This study aimed

sOilFauna - a global synthesis effort on the drivers of soil macrofauna communities and functioning

Soil Organisms, 2022
Understanding global biodiversity change, its drivers, and the ecosystem consequences requires a better appreciation of both the factors that shape soil macrofauna communities and the ecosystem effects of these organisms.
