Taxonomic diversity of litter and soil invertebrates and the structure of dominance of their communities under the influence of natural afforestation of model plots in Western Polissia

Біологічні студії, 2023
Background. Composition of tree species plays an important role in the structural and functional organization of soil invertebrates during the process of afforestation, which affects the trophic structure of soil invertebrate communities.

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 ...

Mesofauna as effective indicators of soil quality differences in the agricultural systems of central Cuba

, 2023
Soil mesofauna play an essential role in soil functioning. However, in studies on the impact of agricultural management on soil quality, the overall abundance of soil mesofauna and specific groups thereof has not been widely used as an indicator in ...

The Impact of Root-Derived Resources on Forest Soil Invertebrates Depends on Body Size and Trophic Position

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2021
Forest soil food webs have been assumed to be fueled substantially by root-derived resources. However, until today the flux of root-derived resources into soil animals has been investigated virtually exclusively using isotope labeling experiments ...

Effects of Soil Quality Decline on Soil-Dwelling Mesofaunal Communities in Agricultural Lands of the Mollisols Region, China

Agriculture
Soil quality decline can adversely affect ecosystem health and land productivity, with soil-dwelling mesofauna considered to potentially fulfill vital functions in accurately predicting these outcomes. However, the current state of research reveals a gap

Effects of different management practices of organic uphill grasslands on the abundance and diversity of soil mesofauna

Journal of Plant Protection Research, 2018
In this study the effect of different grassland managements (cattle grazing with different intensities and mowing) on soil mesofauna, i.e. mites (Acari) and springtails (Collembola), was studied.

SOIL FAUNAL DIVERSITY AS A BIOINDICATOR OF SOIL HEALTH ACROSS DIFFERENT LAND-USE TYPES

JTSL (Jurnal Tanah dan Sumberdaya Lahan)
This study examines soil mesofauna and macrofauna as bioindicators of soil health and ecological integrity across three land-use systems: oil palm plantations, open lands, and bamboo forests.
