“…We identified and counted the isolated soil fauna under an Olympus SZX16 stereo microscope (Olympus, Tokyo, Japan). We used Tullgren and Baermann funnels to separate the soil fauna by size (Lakly and Crossley 2000;Rodgers et al 2018) over periods of 24 h and 48 h, respectively. Most of the small arthropods can be collected with the Tullgren funnel (primarily medium-sized soil fauna), and the aquatic or wet soil fauna can be separated with the Baermann funnel.…”

Introduction: Wetland soil fauna support material cycling and restoration processes in wetland ecosystems. In our study, we observed variations in wetland soil fauna on the shores of Lake Taihu, China. We examined the relationships between fauna and major environmental factors, and looked at the short-and long-term changes in reed wetlands under restoration and in the natural reed lakeshore. Outcomes: We identified 93 groups of soil fauna in different wetlands and found significant differences in the lakeshore wetlands' soil fauna assemblages, depending on the length of the restoration period. By analyzing the soil fauna community evenness, dominance, number of taxa, and diversity, we found minimal seasonal variation in the soil fauna community diversity and abundance. The abundance of soil fauna in the sites under restoration decreased with depth below the soil surface. The reed restoration was obvious in the succession of the soil fauna groups in the long-term site. Although the restoration had an overall positive long-term effect on the soil fauna communities, there were no obvious short-term changes in the number of individuals. Conclusion: The study explored various potential measures to restore soil fauna in the Lake Taihu wetland and developed a theoretical basis for restoring the lakeshore wetland ecosystem.

“…Morales et al (2015) suggested that changes in soil moisture and nutrient availability resulting from soil compaction can influence microbial diversity and in turn ecosystem services delivered by soil. Rodgers et al (2018) reported that field traffic significantly decreased Collembola abundance compared to untrafficked soils with highly significant differences in the spring. Thompson et al (2020) in a study of the effects of wheeled traffic on soil microbial communities in grassland found that direct wheeled traffic had no significant effect on the abundance, diversity, or community structure of either the bacterial or archaeal communities (primitive, single-celled procaryote organisms).…”

This chapter examines the relationship between agricultural traffic and soil compaction. It begins by reviewing research on how agricultural traffic affects soil compaction as well as ways of measuring soil compaction and its effects. It then discusses a range of potential techniques to avoid soil compaction. These include: controlled-traffic farming, low ground pressure tyre systems as well as tracks and gantry systems. The chapter also discusses the relationship between different tillage practices and soil compaction. It includes a case study based on research conducted by the authors.

“…36,37 Soil arthropods are regarded as excellent indicators of environmental changes and disturbances because of the large number of individuals, their relatively short life cycle, and their sensitivity to environmental changes. 38,39 Furthermore, pollinator safety is a chief concern when using insecticides to control PWD, as bees provide the pollination necessary for fruit set. Populations of Apis mellifera L. (Hymenoptera: Apidae) and native bees have been in decline for the last half-century.…”

BACKGROUND: Pine wood nematode is a major plant quarantine object in the world. Trunk injection is an effective method for controlling pests that cause disease. To evaluate the ecological safety of trunk injection with emamectin benzoates in forests of Pinus massoniana, the community diversity and community composition of soil arthropods and flying insects (Hymenoptera) were studied at different stages of trunk injection. RESULTS:The dominant taxonomic groups of soil arthropods were Collembola (30.80%), Insecta (26.42%), and Arachnida (23.84%). The taxonomic groups of flying insects (Hymenoptera) were Ichneumonidae (48.94%), Formicidae (14.10%), and Braconidae (8.44%). Trunk injection with emamectin benzoate has no significant effect on the community diversity indices of total soil arthropods and flying insects (Hymenoptera). However, it has a significant effect on the community diversity indices of detritivores for soil arthropods. It changed the community composition of soil arthropods but did not impact the community composition of flying insects (Hymenoptera). Redundancy analysis of arthropod community structure and environmental variables showed that total potassium, residual of green leaf, and residual of litter leaf have a significant impact on the community structure of soil arthropods, and total phosphorus, total nitrogen, water content, organic matter, and total potassium have a significant impact on the community structure of flying insects (Hymenoptera).CONCLUSION: Trunk injection with emamectin benzoate is safe for the ecological environment. This study provides a new insight into the field for the prevention and control of pine wood nematode disease, which is of great significance to forest management and pest control.
