“…A plausible explanation could be the lush growth of crops through nutrient-rich wastewaters, which attracted abundant prey for this species. Pommeresche et al [ 73 ] and Utami et al [ 74 ] reported a high correlation between soil amendments with the abundance and diversity of soil fauna, while Akamatsu et al [ 75 ] found that insects attracted to wastewater discharge are potential feed sources for spiders.…”

Urban and peri-urban agricultural (UPA) production systems in West African countries do not only mitigate food and financial insecurity, they may also foster biodiversity of arthropods and partly compensate for structural losses of natural environments. However, management practices in UPA systems like irrigation may also contribute to disturbances in arthropod ecology. To fill knowledge gaps in the relationships between UPA management and arthropod populations, we compared arthropods species across different irrigation sources in Tamale. During a 72-h sampling period, 14,226 arthropods were caught with pitfall traps and pan traps from 36 fields. These specimens comprised 13 orders, 103 families, 264 genera, and 329 taxa (243 identified species, 86 unidentified species) and categorized into five feeding guilds (carnivores, decomposers, herbivores, omnivores, and pollinators). Species richness, species accumulation curves, and diversity functions (richness, evenness, and dispersion) were calculated to characterize the arthropod community. Non-metric multidimensional scaling was applied to examine structural similarity of arthropod communities among sites. To account for the effects of soil-related data, we furthermore applied a redundancy analysis. Arthropods grouped according to the irrigation water source, whereby the dipterans were most dominant under wastewater conditions. Here, particularly the eye gnat, Hippelates pusio, a disease-causing vector for humans, accounted for the dipterans. The occurrence of three alien ant species suggested community shifts through invasive species, while the occurrence of seven ant species (at least one ant species occurred under each water source) that form mutualistic relationships with aphids highlighted future risks of aphid pest outbreak. Future studies on these taxa should specifically target their ecological and economic effects and potential countermeasures.

“…Walsh et al (2012) found slurry to reduce microbial growth and fungal diversity. High amounts of ammonia had negative effects on soil organisms as found for cattle slurry on collembolans (Pommeresche et al, 2017), earthworms (Van Vliet and De Goede, 2006) and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (Kahiluoto et al, 2000;Wentzel and Joergensen, 2016). Compared to solid manure, the distribution of bacterial species in slurry was more evenly dominated by certain species when urine was mixed with faeces (Cotta et al, 2003).…”

“…Seven weeks from the application, numbers did only slightly recover (Pommeresche et al, 2017). Compared to thermophilic digestates, leading to more rapid digestion under higher temperatures (around 55 • C), digestates of the slower mesophilic digestation at around 37 • C contained more microorganisms (pathogenic and beneficial; Qi et al, 2018).…”

“…The fertilizer most commonly used is nitrogen, which has a negative impact on springtail populations by decreasing their size a few days after application, since nitrogen in soil can transform into nitric acid (Kustec, 2018). Populations become restored after a few weeks, particularly the euedaphic ones (Pommeresche et al 2017). Nitrogen added to the soil increases microbial production of CO2.…”

“…Manure (animal excrement) serves as direct food for collembola and delivers microorganisms into the soil, retains humidity, and increases soil porosity (Leroy et al 2007). It also raises soil pH, which can be beneficial in acidic soil formed by volcanic ash (Pommeresche et al 2017).…”

A description is given of the abiotic and biotic factors that affect edaphic springtail distribution and the main role that collembola play in soil development. Collembola degrade organic matter that has been inoculated with microorganisms, which they control and disperse. They also help decompose recalcitrant molecules in ecosystems, release nitrogen, phosphorus and other elements into soils, and control phytopathogenic fungi in crops, as well as stimulate microbial respiration and serve as soil quality bioindicators. Water is the main factor that determines whether springtail populations are present, followed by temperature, which in turn controls whether new generations will occur. Enzyme metabolism and even DNA structure is affected by pH. Collembola populations are also affected by materials that enter the soil, including the leaf litter dropped by plant coverage, manures and soil fertilizers, and are regulated by the ascending forces in an ecosystem.
