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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Short‐term legacy effects of feedlot manure application on soil mesofauna
Journal of Environmental Quality, 2020AbstractLittle research exists on short‐term legacy effects of feedlot manure application on soil mesofauna. This long‐term (since 1998) study was on an irrigated clay loam soil in southern Alberta cropped to barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). We sampled the soil 3–4 yr (2017–2018) into the legacy period following 17 annual manure applications (1998–2014 ...

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.

Exploring the relationship between soil mesofauna, soil structure and N2O emissions
Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2016Agricultural 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

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 ...

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).
