Artrópodes edáficos em fragmentos de floresta ombrófila aberta na Paraíba, Brasil

Revista Verde de Agroecologia e Desenvolvimento Sustentável, 2016
Os organismos do solo são componentes ativos nos sítios edáficos e desempenham importantes funções no processo de ciclagem de nutrientes. Objetivou-se avaliar a diversidade da macrofauna e a distribuição vertical da mesofauna em dois fragmentos de ...

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 ...

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 ...

Environmental DNA metabarcoding reveals biodiversity recovery in tropical forest restoration across multiple landscapes

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Forest ecosystems have been degraded globally and restoration efforts aim to reverse loss of biodiversity and ecosystem function decline including carbon storage from the atmosphere. Assessments of restoration success predominantly emphasize increasing carbon stocks rather than species recovery.

Responses of soil mesofauna to organic and conventional management systems and their relationships with soil physicochemical properties in Berkane, Morocco

Journal of the Saudi Society of Agricultural Sciences
This study examined the diversity and abundance of soil mesofauna and their relationships with soil physicochemical properties under organic and conventional management systems, compared to native vegetation, in rural areas of Berkane, Oriental region of

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 ...

Autumn inversion tillage reduces beneficial arthropods and delays their recovery into the following crop growing season

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
Responses to tillage were taxon‐specific and likely depended on life‐stage and the dependency on structural habitat complexity. Management should balance trade‐offs between retaining local communities, meeting the needs of multiple taxa, and accounting for taxonomic and functional richness over time.

Cation responses to global changes alter ecological processes in ombrotrophic systems

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 7, July 2026.
Ombrotrophic bogs, which store large amounts of carbon as peat, receive all their mineral nutrition through deposition, making them particularly sensitive to cation‐displacing global changes. Here, we review the limited yet compelling evidence that cation availability is a key determinant of ecological processes across scales of ecological organisation

Reducing tillage intensity benefits the soil micro‐ and mesofauna in a global meta‐analysis

, 2022
Soil fauna drives crucial processes of energy and nutrient cycling in agricultural systems, and influences the quality of crops and pest incidence. Soil tillage is the most influential agricultural manipulation of soil structure, and has a profound ...

Soil Pathobiome in Agroecosystems and Forests

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 4, July‐August 2026.
This review synthesises current knowledge on the soil pathobiome across agroecosystems, horticulture, and forests, highlighting how climate change and intensive management disrupt microbial communities and promote pathogen accumulation. It emphasises soil health as a key component of the One Health framework, linking ecosystem, plant, animal, and human
