Swine Manure‐Derived Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens L.) Frass Enhances Chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) Vegetative Growth and Soil Epigeic Macro‐Arthropod Abundance

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 7, Page 945-954, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The rapid expansion of swine production has increased environmental concerns related to nutrient pollution and improper manure management. Black soldier fly (BSF) larvae offer a promising bioconversion approach, producing frass that may serve as a sustainable organic fertiliser.

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 ...

Diversity relation between soil mesofauna and c-organic content in pepper plantation area, Petaling, Bangka Belitung Islands [PDF]

, 2019
Forest was source of biodiversity. Forest conversioninto plantation area causes disruption to existence of soil mesofauna such as Collembola and Acarina. Soil mesofauna have a role to decomposition of organic matters in soil. Purpose of this research

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.

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.

Beta diversity of plant community and soil mesofauna along an elevational gradient in a mountainous semi-arid oak forest

, 2021
Community composition heterogeneity and its changes along environmental gradients are important aspects of landscape management and conservation. However, variations among different trophic levels are still poorly understood.

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.

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

Dinamika Populasi serta Diversitas Mesofauna Tanah Akibat Pemberian Jenis dan Cara Aplikasi Bahan Organik pada Piringan Kelapa Sawit

, 2016
The population of soil mesofauna is strongly influenced by the availability of food sources that influence the diversity of these fauna in its environment. Food sources may include various types of organic materials.

Exploring the influence of natural features on soil mesofaunal communities in agricultural landscapes through DNA metabarcoding

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems
Soil mesofauna critically support organic matter decomposition and nutrient cycling, as well as regulating pests and diseases. Agricultural activities can physically and chemically influence soil mesofauna communities, thereby impacting the ecosystem ...
