Fertilizer regime impacts on abundance and diversity of soil fauna across a poplar plantation chronosequence in coastal Eastern China
Soil fauna are critical for ecosystem function and sensitive to the changes of soil fertility. The effects of fertilization on soil fauna communities, however, remain poorly understood. We examined the effects of fertilization form and quantity on the abundance, diversity and composition of soil fauna across an age-sequence of poplar plantations (i.e., 4-, 9- and 20-yr-old) in the coastal regio...
متن کاملFaunal diversity during rainy season in reclaimed sodic land of Uttar Pradesh, India.
Faunal diversity is an indicator of soil amelioration. Estimating the population size or density of an animal species in an area is fundamental to understand its status and demography and to plan for its management and conservation. Considering this, faunal diversity in reclamed sodic land was monitored during rainy season 2000-01 at different locations of district viz., Aligarh, Etah, Fatehpur...
متن کاملEvaluation of the effects of biological operations on functional diversity and soil of carbon stock (Case study: Arange watershed, Alborz province)
Communities or ecosystems with higher biodiversity also have higher levels of ecosystem function and services, so the relationship between functional diversity and sustainability of plant communities is essential to predict ecosystem functioning. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between carbon stocks and different species diversity and functional indices as well...
متن کاملSpatio - temporal heterogeneity of riparian soil morphology in a restored floodplain
Floodplains have been intensively altered in industrialized countries, but are now increasingly being restored. It is therefore important to assess the effect of these restoration projects on the aquatic and terrestrial components of ecosystems. However, despite being functionally crucial components of terrestrial ecosystems, soils are generally overlooked in floodplain restoration assessments....
متن کاملApplying Soil Ecological Knowledge to Restore Ecosystem Services
Ecosystem degradation resulting from resource extraction, land-use change, and invasion by exotic species alters numerous functions and services provided by intact and unexploited ecosystems. Ecological restoration is the human-facilitated improvement of a degraded ecosystem and represents an important means to repair or reinstate many natural services in degraded ecosystems ( Table 5.6.1 ). Re...
