Quantifying soil macrofauna in a Colombian watershed

Pedobiologia, 1999
From April to September 1994, micofauna density, total biomass, and species diversity of earthworms were measured across a range of land use types in the Cabuyal River watershed. The methodology recommended by the Tropical Soil Biology and Fertility Program (TSBF) was used.

The hemeroby of soil macrofauna: spatial-ecological transformation of the communty at the ecosystem level

Agrology, 2020
The concept of hemeroby was used to explain the transformation patterns of the technosol soil macrofauna under the influence of recreation. The following hypotheses have been tested. 1).

Spatial analysis of biodiversity soil macrofauna in Populus deltoides plantation of northern forests of Iran [PDF]

Caspian Journal of Environmental Sciences, 2019
Information about the spatial patterns of soil biodiversity and understanding the effects of biodiversity on ecosystem processes are limited. This study was conducted to determine whether biodiversity of soil macrofauna features demonstrate spatial ...

The conversion of monoculture sugarcane to a tree-based agroforestry system increases total carbon sequestration and soil macrofauna population

Journal of Degraded and Mining Lands Management, 2022
Vegetations accumulate carbon (C) from the atmosphere in the form of tree biomass, producing litter which then becomes the main input of soil organic matter.

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)

Recovery of soil macrofauna in Amazonian secondary forests is driven by vegetation complexity rather than fallow age alone

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change
In the Amazon, shifting cultivation has historically shaped the landscape and remains a key land-use system practiced by traditional communities. The ecological sustainability of this system depends on the regeneration capacity of forests between ...

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.

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 ...
