Soil macrofauna density and diversity across a chronosequence of tropical forest restoration in Southeastern Brazil

Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2017
Edaphic macrofauna must be better studied if we want to take advantage of their full potential for the restoration of tropical ecosystems. We investigated changes in edaphic macrofauna density and diversity along a secondary succession chronosequence in ...

Winter Cover Cropping Management Enhances Soil Hydraulic Properties and Water Resiliency Under Climatic Variability

Soil Use and Management, Volume 42, Issue 3, July‐September 2026.
ABSTRACT Atmosphere warming causes higher summer temperatures, droughts and more intense rain events. At the same time, land conversion towards more simplified crop sequences affects soil hydraulic properties, which determine water capture, transport and storage, threatening agricultural production.

Long-term impact of no-till conservation agriculture on abundance and order diversity of soil macrofauna in continuous maize monocropping system

Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica. Section B, Soil and Plant Science, 2018
Unsuitable soil management in agriculture is known to results in the deterioration of soil health and the decline of biodiversity. The experiment tested whether no-tillage with mulch (NT), could boost biological activity of soil macrofauna population in ...

Ecological niche packing and spatial organisation of the urban park macrofauna comminity

Agrology, 2019
The results of studying of the spatial organization of the soil macrofauna of the urbanozem of the grassland were processed by OMI- and RLQ-analysis methods. The biogeocenotical situation at the location of an experimental polygon was shown to be typical

Turnover of microbial cells, endospores, and organic carbon in ocean margin sediment affected by submarine landslides

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The turnover rate of microbial cells drops steeply by increasing depth in the seabed, in accordance with the decreasing rate of organic matter mineralization. Bacterial endospore formation and germination may take place concurrently, yet their coupling to the mineralization rates during burial is poorly understood.

Variations of the soil macrofauna community and corresponding influencing factors in the newly reclaimed coastal area: A case study in Yangtze Estuary, China

Global Ecology and Conservation
Intensive reclamation activity has reshaped global coastal ecosystems. Soil macrofauna, an effective proxy for ecosystem health, has the potential to predict coastal reclamation ecological impact. Previous studies have primarily focused on the long-term (

CHANGES IN SOIL MACROFAUNA IN AGROECOSYSTEMS DERIVED FROM LOW DECIDUOUS TROPICAL FOREST ON LEPTOSOLS FROM KARSTIC ZONES

Tropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems, 2009
In Yucatan Mexico the method of slash and burn is used for the establishment of pastures. Pastures are developed for 15 to 20 years, no more because weed control is too expensive.
