“…Agricultural impacts often decrease abundance of soil arthropods, eliminate key species and alter trophic relationships (Beare et al, 1997;Wood et al,. 2000;Cao et al, 2011). This preliminary results show that mite richness and abundance were lower in cultivated plantations, which led us to obtain a lower value of Shannon's diversity index (3.176 in wild ground compared to 2.650 in plantations), highlighting differences in the biological organization at community level (Arroyo et al, 2005)…”

“…Mites are of particular interest because they have multi-trophic habits, interacting in many different ways with other animals in the soil foodweb (Cao et al, 2011). They are responsible for the decomposition of organic matter, disperse microbiota and propagules of the soil, regulate the development to mycelia, and feed on and are eaten by other animals (Beare et al, 1997;Petersen and Luxton, 1982;Renker et al, 2005).…”

Aims of the study: The goals of this paper are to provide preliminary data on the composition of the mite community in truffle-producing soils (both wild and plantations); and to elucidate those species which may interact with the black truffle life cycle.Area of study: The study was carried out in two black truffle productive zones in Navarra (Spain), in four different plantations and five wild production areas.Material and Methods: Fauna was extracted using Berlese Tullgren funnels. Animals were separated into taxonomic groups, and mites were identified. To analyse the composition and community structure of the different habitats, parameters such as abundance, species richness, and Shanon Weiner diversity index (H’) were calculated.Main results: A total of 305 mites were recognized, belonging to 58 species representing the three major taxonomic groups (Oribatida, Prostigmata, Mesostigmata).Research highlights: The results show a possible trend towards wild areas having greater diversity and species richness than plantations. Furthermore, community analysis shows differences in species compositions among different study areas, and oribatid mites always exhibit the highest relative abundance and species richness.Keywords: Acari; Tuber melanosporum; Oribatida; Mesostigmata; Prostigmata; truffle orchards.

“…CAO et al (2011), que encontraram maior abundância desse grupo no tratamento com maior quantidade de MO, quando comparado aos demais tratamentos, e os autores descrevem que a fertilização orgânica pode beneficiar o grupo devido à alta quantidade de nutrientes. BEHAN-PELLETIER (1999) destaca ainda que os Astigmatas possuem altas taxas metabólicas, curto tempo de geração e rápida dispersão, podendo restabelecer-se rapidamente sob condições favoráveis.…”

“…Esses organismos fazem parte de grupos como Coleóptera, Collembola, Araneae, Hymenoptera, Acari, Diptera, Diplopoda, dentre outros, os quais atuam na decomposição da matéria orgânica e na ciclagem de nutrientes. Podem ser influenciados pela temperatura, umidade, quantidade de matéria orgânica, além de fatores físicos e químicos do solo (IRMLER, 2006;CAO et al, 2011).…”

“…Sendo assim, GONDIM et al (2010) verificaram as diferenças entre os grupos da macrofauna edáfica em solo cultivado com maracujazeiro-amarelo com adição de biofertilizante bovino e encontraram que com irrigação de água salina e na dose de 30 mg L -1 na seca, ocasionou maior quantidade de organismos no período chuvoso. Por sua vez, CAO et al (2011) estudaram a influência de três tratamentos: fertilizante orgânico formado por palha, esterco de galinha, farelo e restos de algodão; fertilizante químico e sem fertilizante sobre a comunidade de ácaros em uma área com rotação de milho e trigo, no norte da China, e verificaram que não se pode concluir, de fato, que a aplicação de fertilizantes orgânicos tenha efeito benéfico sobre os ácaros.…”

RESUMO A utilização da fauna edáfica como bioindicadora de alterações antrópicas e ambientais vem crescendo nos últimos anos. No entanto, ainda são poucos os estudos em longo prazo que relacionam esses organismos com aplicação de resíduos orgânicos no solo. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar, em dois ciclos da cultura do milho, os efeitos da aplicação de diferentes doses e tipos de águas residuárias da suinocultura (ARS) combinadas ou não com adubação mineral sobre a meso e a macrofauna de solo. Quatro doses (0; 100; 200 e 300 m3ha-1) de ARS, tratada em biodigestor no primeiro ano de estudo e bruta no segundo ano, associadas ou não com adubação mineral, foram aplicadas em dois ciclos da cultura de milho, totalizando 24 parcelas experimentais, sendo 12 com utilização de adubação mineral. Armadilhas de queda foram instaladas em cada uma das parcelas para amostrar a fauna edáfica, sendo os resultados encontrados avaliados por técnicas de estatística multivariada (NMS e Per-MANOVA). A adição de ARS, tanto bruta quanto tratada em biodigestor e de adubação mineral, não influenciou a fauna de solo. Os parâmetros químicos do solo diferenciaram a meso e a macrofauna edáfica somente entre os anos.

Groundwater and nitrogen fertilizer overuse severely threatens crop productions; thus, current ecological agriculture requires low irrigation and nitrogen fertilizer inputs. The effects of combined reduced irrigation and nitrogen fertilizer addition on soil organism (e.g., mite) community and biodiversity remain poorly understood. We analyzed soil mite community composition, wheat grain yield, and soil characteristics in a 10‐year manipulation experiment with two levels of irrigation (reduced and conventional irrigation) and five nitrogen fertilizer levels (0, 70, 140, 210, and 280 kg N/ha). Reduced irrigation (20% reduction, from 280 to 220 mm) and nitrogen fertilizer (25% reduction, from 280 to 210 kg N/ha) addition did not significantly influence soil mite community and wheat yield. The relative abundances of fungivores and predators showed negative quadratic relationships with wheat yield, while that of plant parasites showed a positive relationship. The relationships between soil mite trophic groups and wheat yield revealed that we can evaluate the impacts of reduced irrigation and nitrogen fertilizer addition from the perspective of soil fauna. Soil mite community composition was altered by soil abiotic factors prior to reduced irrigation and nitrogen fertilizer addition. Overall, moderate reductions of irrigation and nitrogen fertilizer may not threaten to soil mite community and diversity or decrease crop production; in contrast, such reductions will benefit mite community development and the sustainable agriculture.
