Non-inversion tillage in organic arable cropping [PDF]

, 2008
The opportunities for using an non-inversion tillage (NI) approach in organic systems has not been well investigated by research and what research has been done has not perhaps been sufficiently long-term.

Modular System for Shelves and Coasts (MOSSCO v1.0) - a flexible and multi-component framework for coupled coastal ocean ecosystem modelling

, 2017
Shelf and coastal sea processes extend from the atmosphere through the water column and into the sea bed. These processes are driven by physical, chemical, and biological interactions at local scales, and they are influenced by transport and cross strong

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 (

Ecological Feedbacks in the Earth System

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Ecological feedbacks are fundamental features of the Earth system, affecting physical processes and chemical cycles. Our understanding of the interactions underlying these feedbacks at different spatial and temporal scales and the extent to which feedbacks affect Earth system functioning remains limited.

Characterizations of how species mediate ecosystem properties require more comprehensive functional effect descriptors [PDF]

, 2014
The importance of individual species in mediating ecosystem process and functioning is generally accepted, but categorical descriptors that summarize species-specific contributions to ecosystems tend to reference a limited number of biological traits and

Can Widely Used Methods Be Turned Into eDNA Samplers for Ground‐Dwelling Arthropods? Insights From Two Pilot Studies in West European Salt Marshes

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 2, Page 164-177, February 2026.
This study evaluates bulk and eDNA metabarcoding via suction sampling and modified pitfall traps to monitor salt marsh arthropods. Suction sampling excelled in detecting overlooked taxa, whereas pitfalls were effective for Scarabaeinae. Results underscore the importance of adapting protocols to specific taxa and habitats and highlight the effects of ...

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.

Soil macrofauna in cover crops of figs grown under organic management Macrofauna edáfica sob coberturas do solo no cultivo de figo sob manejo orgânico

Scientia Agricola, 2005
Soil fauna plays an important role in organic management through their effects on soil organic decomposition, nutrient mineralization, and amelioration of the soil's physical properties.

Organic Agriculture and the Environmental Stability of Food Supply [PDF]

, 2007
CONCLUSIONS Organic production systems can make important contributions to food supply stability and farmer livelihoods by establishing soil fertility, providing diversity and, therefore, resilience to food production systems in light of the many ...

Disparate responses of above- and belowground properties to soil disturbance by an invasive mammal [PDF]

, 2014
Introduced mammalian herbivores can negatively affect ecosystem structure and function if they introduce a novel disturbance to an ecosystem. For example, belowground foraging herbivores that bioturbate the soil, may alter process rates and community ...
