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 ...

Mesofauna at the Soil-Scree Interface in a Deep Karst Environment [PDF]
Diversity, 2021 The community patterns of Collembola (Hexapoda) were studied at two sites along a microclimatically inversed scree slope in a deep karst valley in the Western Carpathians, Slovakia, in warm and cold periods of the year, respectively. Significantly lower average temperatures in the scree profile were noted at the gorge bottom in both periods, meaning ...

Incorporation of mineral nitrogen into the soil food web as affected by plant community composition
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Although nitrogen (N) deposition is increasing globally, N availability still limits many organisms, such as microorganisms and mesofauna. However, little is known to which extent soil organisms rely on mineral‐derived N and whether plant community ...
