Assessment of soil biological degradation using mesofauna

Soil and Tillage Research, 2011
Abstract The aim of this work was to assess soil degradation by means of simple and relatively easy to measure biological indicators derived from mesofauna, and to provide criteria to derive threshold values from benchmark sites. We hypothesized (1) that simple biological attributes may be derived from soil mesofauna to be used as soil biological ...

The influence of vegetation structure on the development of soil mesofauna

Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, 1989
Abstract Secondary succession of vegetation and soil mesofauna was followed for several years in 3 replicate experiments on artificially created synchronous successional and recultivated (grass) sites in 1980, 1982 and 1985. The data presented cover a period of 2 years, with special reference to the Gamasina (Acari).

Prescribed Burning and Populations of Soil Mesofauna

Environmental Entomology, 1973
Mesofauna was collected over a period of 10 months on plots which were not burned (control), burned periodically, and burned annually. The number of animals on the control and periodic burn plots was significantly greater than on the annual burn plots.

Population dynamics of soil mesofauna in Soybean

Indian Journal of Entomology, 2019
This study is on the interaction between soil biological characteristics and weather factors with an field experiment conducted at the UAS, GKVK, Bengaluru. Significant difference in abundance of soil fauna was documented among the treatments, of which the best treatment (20 t farm yard manure/ha) for mesofauna was correlated with weather factors ...

Exploring the relationship between soil mesofauna, soil structure and N2O emissions

Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2016
Agricultural soils are a large source of nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions. Soil mesofaunal species can accelerate, delay, increase or decrease N2O emissions. However, it is still unknown whether the soil fauna affect N2O emissions through trophic interactions or through their effect on soil structure. We explored the role of these two pathways in a 70 day
