Effect of Dimethoate on Body Growth of Representatives of the Soil Living Mesofauna
Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 1996 For the elucidation of effects of a pesticide on life-cycle parameters of arthropods, applicable in the development of ecotoxicological test procedures with soil living animals, attention was drawn to body growth, which has previously been described as a sensitive parameter in Collembola.

Soil Organisms, 2020 Invertebrates play important functional roles in soils, affecting several essential ecosystem services. However, their populations are sensitive to disturbance, and are therefore often used as bioindicators of soil quality.

A framework linking silicon fertilisation, plant silicification and soil carbon cycling
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 861-870, May 2026.Soil organic carbon (SOC) is vital for soil health, food security, and climate change mitigation. We reviewed how silicon (Si) fertilisers, commonly used to improve plant health, may also influence SOC dynamics. We developed a framework linking Si and SOC and discussed the possibility of Si‐mediated plant changes contributing to SOC sequestration.

Differential contribution of soil biota groups to plant litter decomposition as mediated by soil use [PDF]
PeerJ, 2015 Plant decomposition is dependant on the activity of the soil biota and its interactions with climate, soil properties, and plant residue inputs. This work assessed the roles of different groups of the soil biota on litter decomposition, and the way they ...

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1339-1351, May 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract In temperate European forests, soil fungal communities, dominated by saprotrophic and ectomycorrhizal (ECM) species, represent almost 25% of soil organic carbon (C) in the soil.

The impact of roosting birds on the abundance of two groups of soil mesofauna
Studia Ecologiae et Bioethicae, 2012 The aim of the study was to assess the influence of corvid urban roosts on the abundance of two groups of soil mesofauna: mites and springtails. Two areas located in the city of Warsaw were taken into consideration, one subjected to winter roosting ...

Effects of soil regeneration methods on beneficial mesofauna in a spring triticale field [PDF]
Journal of Central European Agriculture, 2017 The aim of the study was to determine possible changes in the abundance and species diversity of soil dwelling springtails (Collembola) and mites (Acari) due to different conditioners and soil regeneration methods applied on a spring triticale ...
