SOIL MESO- AND MACROFAUNA IN TWO SOYBEAN CROPS AFTER SWINE WASTEWATER APPLICATION [PDF]
Engenharia Agrícola, 2017 Hog raising generates a large amount of residues that is commonly discarded into the soil as fertilizer even with environmental risks. In this context, the aim of this study was to assess the application effects of different doses of swine wastewater (SW)

Soil macrofauna under laying hens’ grazed fields in two different agroecosystems in Portugal
Open Agriculture, 2023 Although chickens can improve the chemical properties of soil through the deposition of excreta, their effects on soil macrofauna are poorly known. This work assessed the effects of grazing indigenous laying hens on soil macrofauna of two agroecosystems ...

Soil macrofauna in areas with different ages after Pinus patula clearcutting
Universitas Scientiarum, 2018 In Andean high montane areas, the establishment of exotic tree forests changes the soil dynamics and its biodiversity. Soil macrofauna act as indicators of ecosystem successional processes, and may have an important role in ecological restoration ...

Why is the influence of soil macrofauna on soil structure only considered by soil ecologists?
Soil and Tillage Research, 2015 These last twenty years have seen the development of an abundant literature on the influence of soil macrofauna on soil structure. Amongst these organisms, earthworms, termites and ants are considered to play a key role in regulating the physical, chemical and microbiological properties of soils.

Soil macrofauna in wooded pasture with legume trees [PDF]
Ciência Rural, 2015 Grasslands afforestation aims at adding different soil uses in a way they become profitable for their owners. As such handling aims at minimizing impacts, the current study had as its goal the use of soil macrofauna in order to evaluate legume afforestation effects on the soil, regardless the depth.

SOM management in the tropics: Why feeding the soil macrofauna?
Nutrient Cycling in Agroecosystems, 2001 This paper synthesises information on the food requirements of soil macroinvertebrates and some of their effects on soil organic matter dynamics. Some clues to techniques that would optimise their activities through organic matter management are suggested.
