Riding the Storm: Microeukaryote Community Responses to Hurricane Disturbance

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 73, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT Sandy beaches are dynamic ecosystems where terrestrial and marine organisms coexist, resulting in diverse communities where microeukaryotes (protists, microalgae, and meiofauna) are key drivers. Understanding their diversity patterns and responses to stressors is essential for elucidating ecological processes, yet information on this subject ...

Comparative Study of Expected Ecosystem Services and Tree Species Diversity in Residential Plots of Polluted and Unpolluted Neighborhoods in the Copper City of Lubumbashi

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT 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 ...

Effect of fire severity on soil macrofauna in Manna oak coppice forests [PDF]

تحقیقات جنگل و صنوبر ایران, 2014
Regarding the importance of Zagros forest ecosystems and the recent wildfires, interaction between fire severity and soil properties and macrofauna was investigated in this study. For this purpose three burning severity levels including: low (occurred at

Trade‐offs between soil biodiversity and agricultural expansion: Evidence from litter decomposition dynamics in Madagascar

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2560-2574, August 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Home‐Field Advantage (HFA) theory—positing that litter decomposes faster at its site of origin—allows us to disentangle the respective influences of litter quality, soil biota composition, and microclimate on shifts in litter decomposition following land use conversion.

Edaphic Macrofauna as a Recovery Indicator of Abandoned Areas of Corymbia citriodora in the Southeastern Brazil

Floresta e Ambiente, 2019
The edaphic macrofauna may reflect changes in soil use. This study aimed to answer two questions: (1) Has the management of eucalyptus by girdling, promote stimulation or inhibition in the guilds of the edaphic macrofauna? (2) Can soil macrofauna be used

Environmental DNA metabarcoding reveals biodiversity recovery in tropical forest restoration across multiple landscapes

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Forest ecosystems have been degraded globally and restoration efforts aim to reverse loss of biodiversity and ecosystem function decline including carbon storage from the atmosphere. Assessments of restoration success predominantly emphasize increasing carbon stocks rather than species recovery.

eDNA Metabarcoding Enhances Aquaculture Impact Monitoring Across Microbial and Benthic Metazoan Communities in Understudied Tropical Environments

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 4, July‐August 2026.
Benthic community responses to aquaculture organic matter enrichment remain poorly understood in tropical low‐input farms typical of scattered island socio‐ecosystems. Detecting these responses requires sensitive approaches such as eDNA metabarcoding across multiple biological groups.
