Soil arthropod composition differs between old-fields dominated by exotic plant species and remnant native grasslands
(Gauthier-Villars/Editions Elsevier, 2018-08)
Secondary succession after agriculture abandonment (old-fields) is mostly dominated by exotic grass species. Non-native plant invasions may alter soil fauna, potentially inducing plant-soil feedbacks. Despite their importance ...
Effect of Good Agricultural Practices under no-till on litter and soil invertebrates in areas with different soil types
(Elsevier Science, 2016-01)
Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) under no-till (NT) includes a mixed crop rotation; cover crops; integrated pest, weed and disease management; nutrient restoration; and a rational use ofagrochemicals. When applied all ...
Soil invertebrate diversity loss and functional changes in temperate forest soils replaced by exotic pine plantations
(Nature, 2020)
The global expansion of tree plantations is often claimed to have positive effects for mitigating global warming, preventing soil erosion, and reducing biodiversity loss. However, questions remain unanswered about the ...
Diversity of soil invertebrates associated to six spatially aggregated plant species in the Yasuní National Park, Amazonian Ecuador.
(PUCE, 2016)
Amazonian tropical rainforests harbor the largest biodiversity on Earth. Over the past decade, there has been increasing interest in understanding how such diversity can coexist in small areas. One broadly accepted explanation ...
Levels of organochlorine pesticides in soils, mesofauna and streamwater from an agricultural watershed in Argentina
(Springer Verlag, 2019-09)
Pesticides are usually used in modern agriculture; however, their off-site migration and detrimental effects on terrestrial biota and nearby surface water environment are of great concern. Organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) ...
The diversification and intensification of crop rotations under no-till promote earthworm abundance and biomass
(Molecular Diversity Preservation International, 2020-06-27)
The diversification and intensification of crop rotations (DICR) in no-till systems is a novel approach that aims to increase crop production, together with decreasing environmental impact. Our objective was to analyze the ...
Vegetation and vertebrate abundance as drivers of bioturbation patterns along a climate gradient
(Public Library of Science, 2022)
© 2022 Public Library of Science. All rights reserved.Bioturbators shape their environment with considerable consequences for ecosystem processes. However, both the composition and the impact of bioturbator communities may ...
Atributos biológicos da qualidade do solo em diferentes sistemas de cultivo do cafeeiro
(Universidade Federal de São CarlosUFSCarPrograma de Pós-Graduação em Agroecologia e Desenvolvimento Rural - PPGADR-ArCâmpus Araras, 2016-02-26)
The fauna invertebrate epigeic, as well as biomass and microbial activity are shown efficient indicator of soil quality, because they have high sensitivity to changes in the environment. The sensitivity of these biological ...
Effect of agrochemicals on macroinvertebrate assemblages in Pampasic streams, Buenos Aires, Argentina
(Springer, 2017-02)
Agricultural practices have been intensified in recent decades in Argentina. The Pampa plain is the main agricultural region of the country. The effect of increased application of agrochemicals on the invertebrate fauna ...
