Bioindicator organisms, such as edaphic invertebrates, are constantly used to assess
disturbance, as they exhibit responses such as reduced community and changes in …

The effects of microenvironmental conditions on decomposition and its interaction with the
mesofauna community remain poorly understood. Therefore, our study aimed to answer the …

Soil mesofauna plays an important role in soil aggregation, which conditions the physical
protection of soil organic carbon (SOC). Thus, our study associates the evaluation of …

The present work aimed to evaluate the influence of different eucalyptus hybrids on the
edaphic macrofauna community. It is hypothesized that the density and diversity of edaphic …

In the implantation of forests, soil tillage can affect the soil fauna, but over the years, it is
possible that forest development can recompose the biological indicators of soil quality. So …

The leaf cutter ant Atta sexdens (L.)(Hymenoptera: Formicidae) causes huge economic
losses to agriculture in the Neotropics. In natural environments, parasitic flies of the …

Ambientes naturais ou criados pelo homem abrigam uma diversidade biológica ainda não
calculada e altamente ameaçada. No presente trabalho, analisamos a artropodofauna …

RESUMO O presente trabalho teve como objetivou realizar um estudo sobre a
artropodofauna de serapilheira, com ênfase na riqueza e diversidade de artrópodes dos …

Important for soil quality, the edaphic fauna is indicative of an environment in equilibrium.
The study aimed to identify the macrofauna and mesofauna organisms of the soil in a …

Leaf litter consists of vegetables (eg, leaves, fruit, twigs) and animal debris/debris. It acts in
soil fertilization through its decomposition and fragmentation by abiotic and biotic factors …
