Soil organisms are recognized as ecosystem engineers and key for aggregation in soil due
to bioturbation, organic matter (OM) decomposition, and excretion of biogenic OM. The …

Soil degradation is a worsening global phenomenon driven by socio‐economic pressures,
poor land management practices and climate change. A deterioration of soil structure at …

The main objective of the current study was to introduce a Deep Learning Neural Network
(DLNN) model in landslide susceptibility assessments and compare its predictive …

These last twenty years have seen the development of an abundant literature on the
influence of soil macrofauna on soil structure. Amongst these organisms, earthworms …

Earthworms have a prominent role in supporting soil functioning and thus in providing key
services to humanity. Their beneficial role relates to effects on soil structure, carbon and …

This study represents a hybrid intelligence approach based on the differential evolution
optimization and Least-Squares Support Vector Machines for shallow landslide prediction …

Ecological engineering of degraded ecosystems often manipulates plants, with positive
outcomes for their restoration or ecosystem services production. The importance of soil biota …

New non-tillage or reduced tillage agricultural practises are being increasingly adopted but
generally result in higher soil compaction. Due to their recognised physical influence mainly …

The diversification of tropical pastures with legumes (trees) for increased forage and animal
productivity has been advocated. Nevertheless, effects on soil quality and belowground …

The role of earthworms as one of the most important groups of ecosystem engineers in
human-modified and natural environments has been increasingly recognized only during …
