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.

Compacted soil affects soil macrofauna populations in a semi-arid environment in central Queensland
Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2001 Population densities of soil macrofauna were assessed in a field experiment with annually compacted treatments (applied to whole plots) and management treatments to repair initially compacted soil.

Soil macrofauna and nitrogen on a sub-Antarctic island
Oecologia, 1992The 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 ...

Soil macrofauna research in ecosystems in Uganda [PDF]
African Journal of Ecology, 2007 AbstractSoil is a living entity, comprising an inseparable mixture of solid, liquid and gaseous phases, and diverse fauna and flora, the below ground biodiversity. The macrofauna consists of animals longer than 4 mm or wider than 2 mm, which are easily located by the naked eye and include arthropods, molluscs and earthworms.

Soil Fungi and Macrofauna in the Neotropics
2007Decomposition 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.

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 ...
