Soil macrofauna: Study problems and perspectives

Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2021
Abstract The soil macrofauna, including animals between 1–2 mm and 20–30 mm in size, uses soil differently from the mesofauna, which lives in cavities, or microfauna that inhabits water films. In some ecosystems, the macrofauna accounts for most of the total soil animal biomass and substantially contributes to soil food-web functioning. Additionally,

Soil fertility management: Impacts on soil macrofauna, soil aggregation and soil organic matter allocation

Applied Soil Ecology, 2011
Maintenance of soil organic matter through integrated soil fertility management is important for soil quality and agricultural productivity, and for the persistence of soil faunal diversity and biomass. Little is known about the interactive effects of soil fertility management and soil macrofauna diversity on soil aggregation and SOM dynamics in ...

Diversity of Soil Macrofauna in Lembah Harau, West Sumatra

DIVERSITAS HAYATI, 2023
Soil macrofauna constitutes fauna that inhabits both the soil surface and subsurface. Soil macrofauna plays a crucial role in ecosystems by safeguarding soil fertility through the decomposition of organic matter within the soil. Biodiversity is an essential aspect supporting the sustainability of living organisms on Earth.

Soil macrofauna and nitrogen on a sub-Antarctic island

Oecologia, 1992
The densities, diets and habitat preferences of the soil macrofaunal species on sub-Antarctic Marion Island (47°S, 38°E) are described. Their role in N cycling on the island is assessed, using a mire-grassland community as an example. Primary production on the island is high and this leads to a substantial annual requirement of nutrients by the ...

Characteristics of soil macrofauna community and CCA analysis between soil macrofauna and soil properties in the wetlands of the Lhasa River basin

Acta Ecologica Sinica, 2015
Abstract The aims of this study were to analyze the composition and diversity characteristics of soil macrofauna community and the response of soil macrofauna to soil properties in an alpine river wetland of the Lhasa River basin. Soil macrofauna were investigated in nine wetland habitats of the Lhasa River basin in September 2009 and 2010.

Soil Fungi and Macrofauna in the Neotropics

2007
Decomposition is a critical ecosystem function that decomposes dead organic materials, removes wastes, recycles nutrients and renews soil fertility. In natural ecosystems most nitrogen (N) and phosphorous (P) required for plant growth are supplied through the decomposition of detritus, relying therefore on the activities of soil microbes and macrofauna.

Macrofauna assemblage composition and soil moisture interact to affect soil ecosystem functions

Acta Oecologica, 2013
Changing climatic conditions and habitat fragmentation are predicted to alter the soil moisture conditions of temperate forests. It is not well understood how the soil macrofauna community will respond to changes in soil moisture, and how changes to species diversity and community composition may affect ecosystem functions, such as litter decomposition
