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 ...

Comparison of soil mesofauna communities in protected forests and production forests of Pesanggrahan Beach, Malang Regency [PDF]

BIO Web of Conferences
Mesofauna soil plays an important role for balancing soil ecosystem and its abundance is influenced by soil environment. This study aims to reveal and compare soil mesofauna communities based on H', E, R, IVI, litter decomposition rate and the ...

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.

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

Imaging Soil Mesofauna. The Land in Between

, 2005
This chapter will try to make some generalisations on current approaches to the imaging of small specimens. By that, we mean those with sizes lying typically between that of microphotography and that of macrophotography. These constraints do not necessarily mean a requirement for taxon-specific techniques.

Soil mesoarthropods in areas of coal mining under environmental recovery [PDF]

Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, 2017
: The objective of this work was to evaluate the soil mesofauna composition in non-mining and in mining areas under environmental recovery with native vegetation and forest planting, in a coalmine in Southern Brazil.

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.

The threat of a major tree pathogen to forest soil mesofauna food webs and ecosystem functioning

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
Tree pathogens threaten the survival of many forest foundation tree species worldwide. However, there is limited knowledge of how dieback of foundation tree species may threaten other components of forest ecosystems, such as soil biodiversity and ...

Land-Use Types Influence the Community Composition of Soil Mesofauna in the Coastal Zones of Bohai Bay, China

Diversity, 2022
Soil faunal communities play key roles in maintaining soil nutrient cycling. Affected by different land-use types, soil environment and soil faunal communities change significantly.

Responses of Soil Arthropod Communities to Varying Shading Levels in Agriphotovoltaic Systems

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Soil fauna was primarily influenced by crop type and season rather than AgriPhotovoltaic (APV) panels. Elevated panels increased soil temperature and soil organic matter in early wheat stages, while shading enhanced soil moisture for tomatoes, benefiting moisture‐sensitive taxa.
