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

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.

THE EFFECTS OF THE QUESUNGUAL AGROFORESTRY SYSTEM OF WESTERN HONDURAS ON SOIL MACROFAUNA [PDF]

Sociedade & Natureza, 2005
Agricultural practices that promote increased diversity and abundance of soil macrofauna may improve soil quality and productivity, due to the influence of soil macrofauna on organic matter breakdown, nutrient cycling and soil structure. Southern Lempira

Soil macrofauna in relation to soil and leaf litter properties in tree plantations [PDF]

Journal of Forest Science, 2012
Soil communities exert strong influences on the processing of organic matter and nutrients. Plantations of trees, especially of nitrogen fixing ones, may affect the soil macrofauna through litter quality and quantity.

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

Biodivers Data J, 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 ...

Standardized Protocols for Soil Fauna Extraction and a Call for Cross-Lab Implementation. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We present harmonized methodologies, assembled by an international group of experts, for extracting soil‐ and litter‐inhabiting nematodes, enchytraeids, microarthropods, and larger invertebrates. The protocols are illustrated with images and videos, and include advice for overcoming the most frequent issues (’expert tips’) for increasing extraction ...

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

Fast recovery of soil macrofauna in regenerating forests of the Amazon [PDF]

Journal of Animal Ecology, 2021
Abstract The emergence of secondary forests in deforested tropical regions represents an opportunity to mitigate biodiversity loss and climate change, but there is still debate on how fast and to which level these forests can recover biodiversity. Recent studies have shown that the recovery of plant and vertebrate species richness is relatively fast,

Role of Soil Macrofauna in Phosphorus Cycling [PDF]

, 2010
Soil macrofauna (invertebrates larger than 2mm) live all or part of their life below ground. The activities of soil macroinvertebrates regulate soil organic matter transformations and nutrient dynamics to a significant extent. The role of earthworms and termites in soil phosphorus (P) cycling has been frequently studied, especially in tropical ...

Assessing the variability and vulnerability of carbon function in coastal soft sediment ecosystems to inform protection. [PDF]

Ecol Appl
Abstract Coastal soft sediment ecosystems can sequester and process large quantities of carbon, making these environments important in mitigating the impacts of climate change. However, demersal fishing methods can resuspend sediment, releasing CO2, and in the longer term change the physical, biological, and biogeochemical characteristics of the ...
