Soil mineral nitrogen content is increased by soil mesofauna and nematodes – a meta-analysis

Soil Organisms, 2023
The world’s soils maintain various ecosystem processes and functions, such as the provision of nitrogen, which is the basis for plant growth. Microorganisms are the key actors in nitrogen transformation processes, but soil fauna can also affect nitrogen ...

Effects of Wastewater from Oil Exploration on Soil Mesofauna [PDF]

Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 2015
Wastewater from oil exploration may contain substances that can alter the diversity of soil organisms. This study evaluated whether produced water treated by filtration or reverse osmosis and glutaraldehyde from reverse osmosis treatments negatively affected the mesofauna in an irrigated area.

Inter-Row Management and Clay Content Influence Acari and Collembola Abundances in Vineyards

Horticulturae, 2023
Viticulture is a perennial cropping system that provides large inter-row space as a non-crop habitat for a range of different taxa. Extensive vegetation management has been shown to increase biodiversity and ecosystem service provision in vineyards ...

Influence of experimental fires on mesofauna communities (Collembola and Acari) of two types of meadows

Studia Ecologiae et Bioethicae, 2020
The impact of prescribed fires in grasslands on soil mesofauna was studied in the field experiment. The study was carried out on two types of meadows: on mineral (meadow I) and organic soils (meadow II), near Warsaw (52o10’N; 20o50’E).
