Biodiversity and ecosystem function in soil [PDF]

, 2005
1. Soils are one of the last great frontiers for biodiversity research and are home to an extraordinary range of microbial and animal groups. Biological activities in soils drive many of the key ecosystem processes that govern the global system ...

Performance of eight soil moisture sensors as affected by soil texture and electrical conductivity

Vadose Zone Journal, Volume 25, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Accurate soil moisture information helps farmers, ranchers, and land managers make informed decisions, and this information often comes from in situ measurements. In situ sensors operate based on a variety of technologies, and there is an ongoing need to determine the accuracy of these sensors across different soils.

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

Exclusion of soil macrofauna did not affect soil quality but increased crop yields in a sub-humid tropical maize-based system

, 2015
Soil macrofauna such as earthworms and termites are involved in key ecosystem functions and thus considered important for sustainable intensification of crop production.

Sediment microbial communities in long‐term wetland restorations within the Prairie Pothole Region of the United States

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 4, May 2026.
Hydrologic wetland restoration in the Prairie Pothole Region is a common management practice to facilitate habitat and ecosystem recovery after degradation or drainage. Little is known about the recovery of sediment microbial communities relative to other organisms, such as vegetation, fish, and macroinvertebrates, even though they are critical for ...

Multiple environmental controls explain global patterns in soil animal communities [PDF]

, 2020
Soil animals play important roles in ecosystem functioning and stability, but the environmental controls on their communities are not fully understood. In this study, we compiled a dataset of soil animal communities for which the abundance and body mass ...

Shorebird responses to fine‐scale water level fluctuations and macrofauna biomass in a newly constructed freshwater wetland

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 4, May 2026.
Abstract Introduction Restoration of marine and freshwater wetlands for shorebirds is essential for the recovery of their declining populations. An ongoing approach is to restore shorebird habitats by large‐scale engineering, expecting the return of birds once suitable abiotic conditions are (re)established.
