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 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 ...

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.

Quantification of the inevitable: the influence of soil macrofauna on soil water movement in rehabilitated open-cut mined lands [PDF]
SOIL, 2016 Recolonisation of soil by macrofauna (especially ants, termites and earthworms) in rehabilitated open-cut mine sites is inevitable and, in terms of habitat restoration and function, typically of great value.

Journal of Degraded and Mining Lands Management, 2019 The role of tropical forests for maintaining environmental functions is decreasing due to the rapid changes to agricultural purposes. Agroforestry system is assumed to be an alternative system which reduces the negative impact of the conversion in term ...
