Soil mesofauna under different soil tillage systems and nutrient sources
, 2021 The agricultural practices affect the soil fauna which has an important role in the soil such asincorporation and decay of crop residues and to assist the action of microorganisms. The objective of this study was to analyze the influence of soil tillage systems and nutrient sources on soil mesofauna abundance and diversity.

Ecotoxicity evaluation of modern herbicides by their effect on the soil mesofauna
Agroecological journal, 2017 Pesticides, as biologically active substances, can influence on biota of agroecosystems, in particular on fauna of invertebrate animals that play an important role in soil-forming process. The work is devoted to study of the ecotoxicity of herbicidal preparations, belonging to the class of chloroacetanilide (chloro-acetamides), on the representatives ...

Collembola laterally move biochar particles.
PLoS ONE, 2019 Biochar is being discussed as a soil amendment to improve soil fertility and mitigate climate change. While biochar interactions with soil microbial biota have been frequently studied, interactions with soil mesofauna are understudied. We here present an

Studying chemical signals in plant–soil mesofauna interactions
Comptes Rendus. ChimieDiscrimination of compounds produced from plant roots is a challenging purpose, especially in presence of the soil matrix and the associated fauna. In this study, we aimed to test a collection method of chemical signals released by living plants and soil fauna in interaction in a soil matrix.
