Assessment of soil biological degradation using mesofauna
Soil and Tillage Research, 2011Abstract 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, 1989Abstract 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, 1973Mesofauna 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, 2019This 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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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,
