Abstract:

Meio- and macrofauna density and biomass were estimated at the OMEX-transect across the continental slope of the Goban Spur at water depths ranging from 208 to 4460 m in the north-east Atlantic. A linear increase in the ratio between meio- and macrofauna densities with increasing water depth was found. At the continental shelf meiofauna densities were ∼50 times higher than macrofauna densities, whereas in the abyss meiofauna densities were more than 1000 times higher. This change in ratio was due to a significant decrease in macrofauna densities with increasing water depth, whereas the meiofau

Sponges act as important microhabitats in the marine environment and promote biodiversity by harboring a wide variety of macrofauna, but little is known about the magnitude and patterns of diversity of sponge-associated communities.

In total, 146 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) were distinguished from 938 successfully-sequenced macrofauna individuals from 99 sponges. A significant difference

Abstract. Previous studies have shown that microbially produced methane can be a dominant carbon source of lacustrine sedimentary macrofauna in eutrophic lakes, most likely through grazing on methane-oxidizing bacteria. Here we investigate the contributions of different carbon sources to macrofaunal biomass across five lakes in central Switzerland that range from oligotrophic to highly eutrophic. Macrofaunal communities change with trophic state, with chironomid larvae dominating oligotrophic and tubificid oligochaetes dominating eutrophic lake sediments.

The purposes of this study are to identify and quantify the diversity of soil macrofauna in various types of stands and land without stand in Holcim Educational Forest.

Abstract Soil macrofauna plays an important role in the soil ecosystem. Through various biological activities, macrofauna provides various ecosystem services such as the provision and regulation of nutrients and carbon through litter decomposition, increasing water holding capacity, and improving soil structure. The diversity of soil macrofauna is strongly influenced by the litter produced. The more diverse types of plants, the more diverse macrofauna will be found. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between macrofauna and soil organic carbon in various cropping patter

Macrofauna acts as a decomposer of organic matter so that it can increase nutrient distribution and improve the physical, chemical and biological properties of the soil. Soil macrofauna is also very sensitive to environmental changes. Changes in land use for oil palm commodity production areas are related to changes in soil biodiversity. This study aims to compare the diversity of soil macrofauna in oil palm plantations of different ages. This research was conducted by survey method and determining the location of research with the
