Earthworms and soil mesofauna as early bioindicators for landfill restoration

, 2022
Landfill activities physically disrupt soil habitats, leading to the destruction of native soil biological communities and negatively impacting soil quality.

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 ...

Interactions between earthworms and mesofauna has no significant effect on emissions of CO2 and N2O from soil

, 2015
Soil fauna can significantly affect soil CO2 and N2O emissions, but little is known about interactions between faunal groups and their relative contribution to such emissions.

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.

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.

Soil inoculation enhances early‐phase reintroduction success in two rare plant species

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Reintroduction for conservation is an important measure to restore populations of vulnerable plant species. However, reintroduction success rates are relatively low. Inoculating reintroduced plants with facilitative microorganisms from native populations may enhance their performance.

IDENTIFICATION OF SOIL MESOFAUNA IN THE ARABICA COFFEE PLANT AREA: IN KALIBENDO PLANTATION, BANYUWANGI

, 2019
One of bio-indicator soil fertility is soil mesofauna. Soil mesofauna is soil organism that have an important role in distributing organic matter in the soil, improving soil physical properties, and increasing soil fertility.

Oribatid Mites (Acari: Oribatida) in Native and Exotic Forests of the Lower North Island of Aotearoa New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 4, December 2026.
Oribatid mites (Acari: Oribatida) are important soil decomposers and bioindicators that are not well studied in New Zealand. We report the findings on assemblages of oribatid mites associated with native broadleaf‐podocarp forests and exotic Pinus radiata plantations at 12 sites in the lower North Island of New Zealand.

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.
