Abstract:Conservation tillage increases soil microarthropod abundance at the global scale. • The effect of conservative tillage on microarthropods is soil texturedependent.• This positive effect of conservation tillage is particularly evident in nutrient-poor soil areas.• In temperate humid regions, however, this positive effect of conservation tillage is limited. • The effect of conservative tillage on microarthropods varies with fauna group and climate regions. Conservation tillage is crucial for preserving soil st… Show more
