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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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.

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 (
