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

Biodivers Data J, 2023
Background 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 ...

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.

The influence of forest types including native and non-native tree species on soil macrofauna depends on site conditions. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The ongoing climate change calls for managing forest ecosystems in temperate regions toward more drought‐resistant and climate‐resilient stands. Yet ecological consequences of management options such as planting non‐native tree species and mixing ...

Distribution of soil macrofauna across different habitats in the Eastern European Alps. [PDF]

Sci Data, 2022
Macro-invertebrates are important components of soil ecosystems as they provide a wide range of crucial functions and ecosystem services. Knowledge on their distribution in mountain soils is scarce despite the importance of such soils for people living ...

Changes in Biomass and Diversity of Soil Macrofauna along a Climatic Gradient in European Boreal Forests. [PDF]

Insects, 2022
Simple Summary We used a 1000 km long latitudinal gradient in north-western Russia to study the potential impacts of a changing climate on soil invertebrates visible by a naked eye (insects, spiders, earthworms etc.). We extracted these animals from soil,

Soil macrofauna in areas with different successional vegetation stages after Eucalyptus grandis harvest in Brazil

Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2022
The objective of this study was to evaluate the composition of soil macrofauna over different periods after the harvest of Eucalyptus grandis to understand the ecological restoration process. Data collection was carried out in each climatic season by the

Temperate Forest Floors: Ecosystem Hubs in Transition? [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
The forest floor (FF) is a key component of carbon, nutrient, and water cycling and represents the most biologically active part of forest soils. Despite its importance, its response to environmental change and forest management remains insufficiently studied.
