Jun 17, 2024 · We propose three major mechanisms - transformation, translocation, and grazing on microorganisms - by which soil fauna alters factors deemed essential in the formation of POM and MAOM,...
Jan 1, 2024 · The biodiversity of soil animals (fauna) is large, and fauna critically affect soil processes by feeding and fragmenting plant materials and organic substrates. Soil fauna exist in food webs, with a range of feeding modes (trophic levels).
May 1, 2024 · Good soil physicochemical environment improves soil fauna biodiversity. •. Soil fauna abundance is more responsive to land use and the soil environment than species diversity. •. Sustainable soil management enhances soil quality and ecosystem multifunctionality. Abstract.
Oct 17, 2022 · Soil invertebrates (i.e., soil fauna) are important drivers of many key processes in soils including soil aggregate formation, water retention, and soil organic matter transformation. Many soil...
Dec 31, 2015 · Soil fauna have been found to have a consistent positive effect on litter decomposition at global and biome scales.
Jul 1, 2017 · For soil fauna, the responses to natural or anthropogenic fire disturbances are generally linked to the fire dependence/sensitivity of the ecosystem in question, the frequency and intensity of fires, and the life-history traits of the soil organisms themselves.
May 17, 2023 · Soil faunas account for 23% of known animal species and play a crucial role in ecosystem processes such as mineralizing nutrients, regulating microbial community composition, forming soil aggregates, and enhancing primary productivity.
