Changes in mesofauna abundance in peat soils drained for forestry
Forest Ecology and Management, 2000Abstract Soil mesofauna community structure was studied in a drainage-succession continuum of peatland sites supporting Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) dominated stands in southern Finland. The numbers of Enchytraeidae, Collembola, Oribatida, Mesostigmata and Prostigmata in an 8-cm-deep surface peat layer were compared among a pristine undrained ...

Macrofauna and mesofauna from soil contaminated by oil extraction
Geoderma, 2018Abstract Mexico is an oil producing country; the extraction of oil on land has left many sites with soil contaminated by oil spills. The aim of our study was to determine the impact of this contamination on the soil fauna; thus we compared the macro and mesofauna from a non contaminated soil to a moderately and highly polluted soil caused by oil ...

Interactions Between Soil Mesofauna and Edible Ectomycorrhizal Mushrooms
2020The ecological relationships between soil organisms are the result of the diversity present in a determined space and time, forming functional networks of biological activity. The mesofauna–fungal sporome interactions link the ecology of the mesofauna with the biology and function of the sporomes, allowing the sporome to be viewed as a reservoir of ...

Design of an Automated System for Imaging and Sorting Soil Mesofauna
Biological Engineering Transactions, 2011Identification and population counts of soil mesofauna can be an important tool for soil ecologists to determine soil biodiversity. The process of performing population counts, which includes classifying and sorting specimens, is very time consuming because of the large diversity and quantities of specimens in soil samples.

Wood ash application increases pH but does not harm the soil mesofauna
Environmental Pollution, 2017Application of bioash from biofuel combustion to soil supports nutrient recycling, but may have unwanted and detrimental ecotoxicological side-effects, as the ash is a complex mixture of compounds that could affect soil invertebrates directly or through changes in their food or habitat conditions.

The use of soil mesofauna for the judgement of chemical impact on ecosystems
Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, 1992Abstract Soil mesofauna has been considered by various authors to be a good indicator in assessing the effect of environmental chemicals. Results are presented from a 4 year study on the succession of soil mesofauna after a single, initial Aldicarb application. The range of reactions is documented, according to organisms concerned, preferred habitat (
