Soil fauna responses to natural disturbances, invasive species, and global climate change: Current state of the science and a call to action (2017, background): “Agricultural practices such as fertilization, tillage, and grazing usually have speciesspecific impacts e which, depending on intensity of agricultural practices, may be positive, negative, or neutral e on belowground fauna (e.g., Ayuke et al., 2011; Cavigelli et al., 2012; Iordache, 2012; Schon et ”
Humus forms in terrestrial ecosystems: a framework to biodiversity (2003, background): “Local changes in humus forms and important soil functional processes have been repeatedly described under the influence of pesticide and fertilizer use (Barratt, 1967; Topoliantz et al., 2000), heavy metal deposition (Coughtrey et al.”
The impact of agricultural practices on soil biota: A regional study (2013, methodology): “In particular, the dominance of sand-size fractions may impede to adequately record fine 8 spongy structures created by enchytraeid worms when compared to compact soils deprived of biogenic 9 structures (Topoliantz et al., 2000).”
Biochar in bioenergy cropping systems: impacts on soil faunal communities and linked ecosystem processes (2013, background): “Similarly, earthworm abundance and activity declines with aridity (Lee, 1985), whereas enchytraeid worms, less affected by water stress, can thrive where earthworm abundance is reduced (Topoliantz et al., 2000).”
Collembolan communities as bioindicators of land use intensification (2003, background): “Agricultural Moder was also defined for the first time to classify an agricultural solum 18 with a spongy structure made of small enchytraeid faeces (Didden, 1990; Topoliantz et al., 2000), and 19 was given a Humus Index of 6 as for Eumoder.”
