Soil life supports the functioning and biodiversity of terrestrial ecosystems. Springtails (Collembola) are among most abundant soil arthropods regulating fertility flow energy through above- belowground food webs. However, global distribution springtail diversity density, how these relate to fluxes remains unknown. Here, using a dataset representing 2470 sites, we estimate total biomass at 27.5 megatons carbon, which is threefold higher than wild vertebrates, record peak densities up 2...
Abstract: The aim of this work was to evaluate the soil quality native forest, eucalyptus plantations, pasture, integrated crop-livestock, and no-tillage systems, correlating morphological diversity springtails with physical chemical properties. Springtail samples were captured from soils southern plateau State Santa Catarina in Brazil, during winter summer, by using Pitfall traps, a 3 × point grid. morphotyping consisted observation five traits for each one partial value eco-morphological...
Collembolan species are differently affected by soil tillage (conventional, minimum tillage, and no-tillage) known to modify plant growth. This study relies on the relationships between Collembola community structures land use systems as a proxy for characterizing changes in quality. Thus, structure (eco-morphological groups - edaphic, hemiedaphic epigeic, morphotypes) were examined no-tillage system crop-livestock integration evaluate discriminative power of determine which properties...
Springtails (Collembola) inhabit soils from the Arctic to Antarctic and comprise an estimated ~32% of all terrestrial arthropods on Earth. Here, we present a global, spatially-explicit database springtail communities that includes 249,912 occurrences 44,999 samples 2,990 sites. These data are mainly raw sample-level records at species level collected predominantly private archives authors were quality-controlled taxonomically-standardised. Despite covering continents, most come European...
Abstract The widespread use of acephate, a common insecticide, raises concerns about its potential impacts on nontarget soil organisms. This study investigated the chronic effects acephate reproduction two key fauna species, springtail Folsomia candida and enchytraeid Enchytraeus crypticus. We exposed these organisms to in both natural Cambisol tropical artificial (TAS) assess under different environmental conditions. Our results revealed significant reductions for with ranging from 38% 49%...
Abstract Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMFs) are soil organisms that contribute to essential ecosystem services, such as carbon cycling and improving plant nutrition. The growing interest in using them risk indicators ecological assessments of pesticides has motivated researchers improve existing ecotoxicological methods. In Brazil, data regarding the effects on AMF natural soils is scarce. We aimed, through this work, evaluate effect a fungicide based active ingredient (a.i.) pyraclostrobin...
Coleopterans (Coleoptera) are major ecosystem service providers. However ecomorphological features that comparable in a wide range of invertebrates within this group and various environments must be found, to able study regions with different species, contributing overcome difficulties the taxonomic approach understand functioning ecosystems. This research addressed diversity Coleoptera, using methodology traits, as well their relation land use systems (LUS) soil properties. The following...
Springtails (Collembola) are soil organisms with wide morphological diversity and sensitive to alterations in the soil, regardless of whether they human-caused or not. The aim this study was evaluate influence land use on springtails verify their relationships physical, chemical, microbiological properties. Samples were collected eastern region Santa Catarina, three municipalities: Joinville, Blumenau, Timbó. They included following systems (LUSs): native forest (NF), Eucalyptus plantation...
Este trabalho de revisão tem como objetivo apresentar a importância dos colêmbolos edáficos, com destaque para aspectos agronômicos e ecológicos. São abordadas as características gerais, densidade distribuição colêmbolos, bem relação práticas agrícolas, fungos, ciclagem nutrientes fertilidade do solo. também reportados trabalhos da literatura, demonstrando desses organismos aos serviços ecossistema, nutrientes, melhoria na fertilidade, agregação solo, controle fungos indicadores qualidade...
In recent years, various studies and development using nanoparticles (NPs) have been carried out in the most diverse areas of knowledge. Although nanomaterials are widely employed by many sectors some may a fertilizing potential, little is known about their effects on environment. This study aimed to evaluate effect applying, tropical natural soil, different contents zinc oxide (NPs-ZnO) non-nano (ZnO) soil pH survival reproduction rates earthworms ( Eisenia andrei ) springtails Folsomia...
This study aimed to evaluate the relationship of edaphic fauna under a no-tillage system with different levels soybean productivity [High (NTH), Medium (NTM) and Low (NTL)] in west Santa Catarina (Brazil), identifying which chemical physical variables most affect them, best indicators that can be used. Native forest (NF) areas were used as reference. A total 207 samples soil collected by monolith pitfall trap methods over two years evaluation four municipalities. Based on data,...
Abstract: Brazil has always been one of the most important coffee producing countries. Lately, there equally a renewed interest in alternative production systems. The state Espírito Santo is second greatest producer Brazil; so, we used local plantations to evaluate relations between soil macrofauna and chemical microbiological properties identify which these discriminate more effectively organic management system (OS) conventional (CS) plantations. For each two cultivation systems chose...
Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence soil use on morphological diversity springtails and verify relationship these organisms with physical, chemical, microbiological properties. Samples were collected in Southern region Santa Catarina, involving three municipalities: Orleans, Lauro Müller, Siderópolis, land systems (LUS) native forest (NF), Eucalyptus plantation (EP), pasture (PA), integrated crop-livestock (ICL), no-tillage (NT). Soil samples determine edaphic...
Abstract: The ability of spiders to spread over contiguous areas (Arachnida: Araneae) is directly related soil management conditions. objective this work was study the effect land use system (LUS) on abundance and diversity spider families their relationship with physical chemical properties. evaluated LUS were: native forest, eucalyptus reforestation, pasture, crop-livestock integration, no-tillage crop. Samples were collected in three municipalities Southern Plateau Santa Catarina,...
This study aimed to evaluate the abundance and diversity of Coleoptera in five land use systems (LUS) soil properties that explain distribution these organisms. Uses involved native forest (NF), Eucalyptus plantation (EP), perennial pasture (PA), integrated crop-livestock (ICL) no-tillage (NT) western Santa Catarina, Brazil. Coleopterans were sampled by methods pitfall traps monoliths during winter summer. Regardless LUS, 1,441 individuals captured, with Staphylinidae being most...
Abstract Tillage systems in conservation agriculture such as no‐tillage (NT) and crop‐livestock integration (CLI) have been proposed to limit the negative impacts of intensive agriculture. Soil organisms Collembola are good indicators because they respond a variety environmental ecological factors their community structure indicates change land management. In this study, we propose assess relationships between springtail biodiversity management with history NT CLI. For both systems, nine...
O estudo foi realizado na safra agrícola 2007/08, em um Planossolo Háplico, Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul (RS). Os tratamentos compreenderam as cultivares de mamoneira 'AL Guarany 2002' e 'Lyra', com cinco doses P (0; 30; 60; 90 120kg ha-1 P2O5), sendo dispostas delineamento blocos ao acaso, esquema fatorial, três repetições. Avaliaram-se o estado nutricional desempenho produtivo da cultura. A adubação fosfatada alterou os teores foliares N, Ca, B Fe mamoneira; para boro, efeito restringiu-se à...
A degradação do solo devido às atividades antrópicas reduz a densidade e diversidade da fauna edáfica, além de influenciar no processo decomposição matéria orgânica. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o efeito recuperação após mineração carvão sobre os grupos edáfica ao longo tempo, usando mata como controle na região Lauro Müller-SC. Foram utilizadas três áreas antropizadas, duas que passaram por construção (Mina A3 Mina A5), uma campo naturalizado nativa usada controle. coletada...
