Linking Soil Threats and Mitigating Management Practices Across Climates: Insights From a Global Soil‐Expert Survey

European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 77, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
How do soil threats vary by climate? Can we mitigate soil threats with soil management practices? ABSTRACT Climate change, population growth, and intensifying land use are exerting increasing pressure on soil resources worldwide. Despite growing knowledge of soil degradation processes, the relationship between soil threats and the effectiveness of ...

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 ...

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

Capturing the unseen: A low‐cost method for stratified subterranean sampling of soil invertebrates in drylands

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 2, April–June 2026.
We developed a low‐cost, stratified subterranean trap for live capture of soil macrofauna in the sandy, dryland soils of the southern Kalahari. The subterranean traps sampled below‐ground taxa and life stages that were rarely represented in pitfall traps (including termites, hypogaeic ants and beetle larvae), showed strong seasonal peaks in richness ...

Impact of emerging compound droughts on forests: A water supply and demand perspective

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 3, Page 561-577, April 2026.
This review examines the physiological and ecological responses of trees to emerging compound droughts from a water demand and supply perspective, as well as the role of acclimation and consequences for ecosystem‐level functions. Abstract The intensification of climate change‐induced drought results in unprecedented tree and forest die‐offs worldwide ...

Produced water irrigation changes the soil mesofauna community in a semiarid agroecosystem [PDF]

Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2015
The scarcity of water in semiarid regions requires alternative sources for irrigation to improve agricultural production. Here, we aimed to evaluate the effects of produced water from oil exploration on the structure of soil mesofauna during the dry and rainy seasons in irrigated sunflower and castor bean fields in a Brazilian semiarid region.

Soil Physical Health in Mixed Crop Rotations: Roles of Grassland Proportion, Cattle Manure and Grass‐Mixture Diversity

Soil Use and Management, Volume 42, Issue 2, April‐June 2026.
ABSTRACT Integrating grasslands into cropping systems has benefits for nutrient cycling and weed control. Beyond that, grasslands are also recognized for their ability to improve soil organic carbon (SOC) and structural stability (SS). This study examined how grassland proportion, fertilization and grassland mixture, both during the grassland phase and

Microstratigraphy and Site Formation Processes at Quebrada Jaguay 280 (Peru)

Geoarchaeology, Volume 41, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT This study presents a microanalytical, geoarchaeological study of Quebrada Jaguay (QJ)‐280, a Terminal Pleistocene–Holocene coastal site in southern Peru. Combining micromorphology, µXRF and µFTIR, we develop a site formation model that also reassesses site use and forager behaviour.

Effects of Agricultural Practices on Biodiversity: A Review

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The loss of biodiversity has become a major concern in the 21st century. The current agricultural model is one of the main drivers of biodiversity loss; however, agriculture can also help maintain and even promote biodiversity. Therefore, the understanding of the consequences of agricultural practices on the different compartments of ...
