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 ...

Soil mesofauna may buffer the negative effects of drought on alien plant invasion
, 2022 1. Although many studies have tested the direct effects of drought on alien plant invasion, less is known about whether drought affects alien plant invasion indirectly via interactions of plants with other groups of organisms such as soil mesofauna.2. To

Observing the invisible: X-ray CT for plant-microbe interactions. [PDF]
New PhytolUtility of X‐ray computed tomography (X‐ray CT) for visualising belowground plant interactions between multiple spatial scales and focal planes. Summary Plant–microbe interactions are inherently spatial, yet the physical structure of the soil and rhizosphere is rarely treated as a mechanistic variable in experimental design.
