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,

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.

Global Bias-Aware Synthesis of Meta-Analyses Reveals Agroforestry's Potential for Improving Soil Health. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
This second‐order meta‐analysis synthesizes evidence across diverse agroforestry systems (silvoarable, silvopastoral, tree‐landscape features, and perennial shaded systems) to assess their effects on multiple soil health attributes, including soil organic carbon, biological, chemical, and physical properties, water regulation, nutrient leaching, and ...

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

Effect of Maize Conservation Crops Associated with Two Vegetal Covers on the Edaphic Macrofauna in a Well-Drained Savanna of Venezuela

Land, 2022
Conventional agricultural in the Venezuelan Llanos has generated gradual soil degradation. Therefore, conservationist agriculture has been proposed. According to several works, this type of management favors soil macrofauna.

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 ...

The role of soil macrofauna in the decomposition process of mahogany litter in the Wanagama Educational Forest, Yogyakarta, Indonesia [PDF]

BIO Web of Conferences
Soil fertility is determined by three components: physical, chemical, and biological components of the soil. Soil macrofauna is one of the biological components of the soil that can play an important role in the process of litter decomposition.

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.

Soil macrofauna diversity and structure under different management of pine-coffee agroforestry system

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 ...
