• Soil penetration resistance increases as a result of park reconstruction. compaction explains one-third the variability in soil macrofauna. The abundance earthworm Aporrectodea rosea after A. calliginosa decreases This study is based on an industrial city Ukraine. In 2019, 2.8 ha area was reconstructed. park’s reconstruction aimed to create comfortable environment for visitors and improve eff...

Soil macrofauna is an important component of soil biodiversity and plays a key role in ecosystem function. Little work, however, has explored how may contribute, directly or indirectly, to microfauna communities. In this study, we the impact two classes common macrofauna, earthworms (Eisenia foetida) millipedes (Spirobolus walkeri), on nematode community diversity structure. We found that play ...

The Corn an important role in agriculture, and can be used both human animal food, production of ethanol, medicines glue. However, is verified cultivation practices soil inappropriate management have led to deterioration. Thus, the importance vegetation cover incorporation organic matter these cultivated soils. objective this work was evaluate effect Carnauba bagana maintained on as mulch incor...

Plant decomposition is dependant on the activity of the soil biota and its interactions with climate, soil properties, and plant residue inputs. This work assessed the roles of different groups of the soil biota on litter decomposition, and the way they are modulated by soil use. Litterbags of different mesh sizes for the selective exclusion of soil fauna by size (macro, meso, and microfauna) w...

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...

Abstract Floodplain ecosystems are hotspots of biological diversity and perform important ecosystem functions in the landscape. The key to understanding sustainability function is knowledge relationships between components. article reveals role morphological physical properties soil, as well phytoindication environmental factors drivers soil macrofauna protected Dnipro River floodplain. studies...
