Soil invertebrates (ie, soil fauna) are important drivers of many key processes in soils
including soil aggregate formation, water retention, and soil organic matter transformation …

Aims Soil fauna is one of the major drivers of plant litter decomposition. This study aims to
assess how soil fauna density and diversity may affect litter decomposition. Also, we …

Soil fauna are important biological factors that affect litter decomposition and play an
important role in the release of nutrients, such as carbon and nitrogen. This study focused on …

Soil fauna are crucial decomposers in terrestrial ecosystems, but how the role of soil fauna
varies among climatic conditions and litter substrates remains poorly understood. Here, we …

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 …

Soil fauna can be an important regulator of community parameters and ecosystem
processes, but there have been few quantitative syntheses of the role of soil fauna in …

More than half of the net primary production in terrestrial ecosystems returns to the soil
through leaf litter fall and decomposition. In terrestrial ecosystems, litter constitutes a mixture …

Understanding global biodiversity change, its drivers, and the ecosystem consequences
requires a better appreciation of both the factors that shape soil macrofauna communities …

Soil organisms are essential for the functioning of agrosystems, especially in the process of
litter decomposition. Litterbags constitute one common way to assess litter decomposition …

Understanding what drives soil fauna species composition through space and time is crucial
because we should preserve soil fauna biodiversity and its key role in ecosystem functioning …
