Editorial: Interactive Feedbacks Between Soil Fauna and Soil Processes

Interaction between soil fauna and their environment

Interactions between soil animals and their environment can be described in terms of positive and negative feed-back loops taking place in the build-up and steady-state of soil ecosystems, respectively. The size of animals determines the scale at which they interact with their physical and biotic environment. Nevertheless varying scales at which animals intervene in functional processes is not ...

Soil fauna and soil functions: a jigsaw puzzle

*Correspondence: María Jesús I. Briones, Departamento de Ecología y Biología Animal, Facultad de Biología, Universidad de Vigo, 36310 Vigo, Spain e-mail: [email protected] Terrestrial ecologists and soil modelers have traditionally portrayed the inhabitants of soil as a black box labeled as “soil fauna” or “decomposers or detritivores” assuming that they just merely recycle the deposited dead p...
