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.

Comparative Study of Expected Ecosystem Services and Tree Species Diversity in Residential Plots of Polluted and Unpolluted Neighborhoods in the Copper City of Lubumbashi. [PDF]
Plant Environ InteractABSTRACT Natural ecosystem loss and deterioration in the quality of the urban environment due to rapid urbanization associated with soil pollution by mining activity have become a huge dilemma in the mining city of Lubumbashi (DR Congo). This study aimed to assess the importance attributed to trees through the expected services, species choice and ...

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

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 ...
