Abstract Similar to other coastal biogenic habitats (e.g. tidal marshes, kelp forests, mangroves and coral reefs), a key function of seagrass meadows is the enhancement biodiversity. Variability at multiple spatial scales driver biodiversity, but our understanding response macrofauna communities variability limited. We examined community structure (abundance biomass) diversity patterns (?- ?-di...

La evaluación de los cambios a nivel edáfico debido la implementación diferentes prácticas manejo requiere el análisis variables distinta naturaleza. El objetivo este trabajo fue determinar las variaciones anuales en propiedades y macrofauna del suelo, interacciones entre ambas, secuencias rotacionales con sin cultivos cobertura (CC). Se trabajó un experimento instalado localidad Zavalla (Santa...

Conventional Citrus crops farming is an system that uses cultivation techniques with maximum use of chemicals and organics material there to support a sustainable agricultural system. Indicators environmental quality can be known from the composition ecological role fauna, one which soil macrofauna. This research aims investigate diversity community structure macrofauna identification its in at...

Heathlands are threatened habitats throughout the whole Europe, which have initiated numerous restoration programmes aimed mostly at plant community reconstruction; however, little is known about soil fauna restoration. Here we studied newly established wet and dry heathlands in Netherlands after topsoil removal of previously agricultural land, where manipulated pH (acidification by Sulphur or ...

The contributions of habitat-forming species to the biodiversity and ecosystem processes marine terrestrial ecosystems are widely recognized. Aquatic plants considered foundation in shallow ecosystems, as they maintain sustain many functions such primary production respiration. Despite increasing amount biodiversity-ecosystem functioning experiments seagrass habitats, effects benthic variabilit...

1. Soil infiltration capacity determines the partitioning of precipitation into and overland flow is therefore an important soil hydrological characteristic. Water through facilitated by macropores created roots macrofauna. In clay-rich soils, such as those tropical forests Sabah, Malaysian Borneo, most occurs via these preferential pathways. 2. We evaluated effects dung beetle tunnelling on ma...

Experiments on the entrainment of surface sediments around polychaete tubes at natural and manipulated densities were conducted in a recirculating seawater flume. Intact cores with either 0 or 8 Diopatra cuprea tubes per 0.01 m* plus associated assemblages were collected in the field. Sediments which contained D. cuprea tubes had natural macrofaunal densities > 5 x those of sediments without tu...

Mangroves have an important role in mitigation and a significant contribution to the wealth of macrofauna. The success mangrove management has significantly affected diversity macrofauna which are associated biota. research objectives were investigate composition mangroves mollusc communities, ecological conditions waters, evidence ecosystem services mitigation. data sources faunal, ecological,...
