Colonisation of a copper-decontaminated soil by micro- and mesofauna
Applied Soil Ecology, 1998Abstract Leaching with aminoacid hydrolysate is a new method for the decontamination of soils polluted with heavy metals. After this treatment, the soil seems to provide ideal conditions for bacterial growth. To estimate further consequences of such decontamination for the soil biota, we studied the recolonisation by the micro- and mesofauna of ...

Soil mesofauna of taiga burozems
Eurasian Soil Science, 2009In the burozems of the plains, the composition of the invertebrates and saprophages (the prevailing primary destroyers) differed from that in the mountainous soils only by the absence of millipedes of the Geophilomorpha order. At the same time, the differences in these characteristics between the burozems and soddypodzolic soils of the neighboring ...

Long-Term Observations of Soil Mesofauna
2010General problems connected with planning, sampling, and data processing of long-term research of soil mesofauna are discussed, based on two case studies: (i) the Bremen study of predatory mites (Gamasina) covering 20 years of secondary succession on a ruderal site in northern Germany and (ii) the Mazsalaca study of the effects of climate warming on ...

Relationships Between Soil Mesofauna, Ectomycorrhizal Fungi, and Sclerotia in Forest Soils
2021In this study, we isolated sclerotia, soil mesofauna, and ectomycorrhizal fungi from soils in Fagus forests in northern and central Japan. We detected fungal species in soil mesofauna by using microbial community profiling methods, and the ectomycorrhizal fungal community profiles in soil were compared to those extracted from sclerotia and mesofauna ...

Mesofauna and Macrofauna in Soil and Litter of Mixed Plantations
2020The cultivation of leguminous nitrogen-fixing tree species improves soil chemical properties, especially with regard to N, and has been identified to be ecologically and economically interesting in intercropped systems with Eucalyptus spp., although the effect of these mixed plantations on soil and litter invertebrates still is poorly understood.

Secondary succession of soil mesofauna: A thirteen year study
Applied Soil Ecology, 1998Abstract Soil mesofaunal succession has been studied since 1980 on two experimental plots, one left undisturbed, the other managed as a lawn until 1987 (thereafter ruderalization). Samples have been taken every three months. The results show the successional dynamics of soil mesofauna taxa and their abundances both at group and species levels (Acari,

Earthworms and soil mesofauna as early bioindicators for landfill restoration
Soil Research, 2022Context Landfill activities physically disrupt soil habitats. When restoring landfill to ‘soft’ end uses such as woodland, the appropriate stockpiling and reapplication of native topsoil to provide suitable soil habitats may enhance soil fauna recolonisation and reduce restoration timeframes.

The diversity of soil mesofauna declines after bamboo invasion in subtropical China
Science of The Total Environment, 2021Plant invasions often act as ecosystem 'simplifiers' to simplify diversity and community structure of soil biota. However, inconsistent relationships between plant invasion and soil fauna have been found and few studies have addressed how soil fauna communities change upon plant invasions across taxa and feeding guilds.

Diversity of soil mesofauna in the Mariut region, Egypt
Zoology in the Middle East, 1996Abstract Data on the soil mesofauna was collected at four sites in the Mariut region, Egypt. The animals were grouped into 17 taxa belong to 10 families, and were statistically treated by diversity indices, correspondence analysis and ascending hierarchic classification.

Mesofauna in soils of the ivolga depression (Western Transbaikal region)
Eurasian Soil Science, 2007Mesofauna of chestnut, meadow-chestnut, meadow alluvial, clayey mucky-gley swampy alluvial soils, and hydromorphic solonchaks has been studied within the Ivolga depression. Variations in the population density of soil invertebrates (from 29.9 to 284.3 specimens per m2) are controlled by the particular soil ecological conditions.
