Journal ArticleDOI
Soil invertebrates and ecosystem services
Patrick Lavelle,Thibaud Decaëns,Michaël Aubert,Sébastien Barot,Manuel Blouin,Fabrice Bureau,Pierre Margerie,Philippe Mora,Jean-Pierre Rossi +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive analysis of invertebrate activities shows that they may be the best possible indicators of soil quality, and they should also be considered as a resource that needs to be properly managed to enhance ecosystem services provided by agro-ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
The impact of long-term CO2 enrichment and moisture levels on soil microbial community structure and enzyme activities
Bertrand Guenet,K. Lenhart,Julie Leloup,S. Giusti-Miller,Valérie Pouteau,Philippe Mora,Naoise Nunan,Luc Abbadie +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of CO 2 and soil moisture on soil microbial community structure, measured by Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis (DGGE), PhosphoLipid Fatty Acids (PLFA) and enzyme activity profiles were determined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recovery of Soil Macrofauna Communities after Forest Clearance in Eastern Amazonia, Brazil
Jérôme Mathieu,Jean-Pierre Rossi,Philippe Mora,Patrick Lavelle,P. F. da S. Martins,C. Rouland,Michel Grimaldi +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the effect of forest clearing on a soil macrofauna community in a smallholder farming system of southeastern Amazonia and found that the recovery potential of the soil macro-fauna after 6 or 7 years is much higher in fallows than in pastures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional complement of biogenic structures produced by earthworms, termites and ants in the neotropical savannas
TL;DR: For the first time, differences in enzyme typology between biogenic structures collected on the same site but produced by different organisms are evaluated and suggested species dependent pathways for the decomposition of organic matter.
Journal ArticleDOI
The diversity of digestive systems in tropical geophagous earthworms
TL;DR: Comparing the origin and activities of glucosidic enzymes present in the gut contents of adult Polypheretima elongata, Pontoscolex corethrurus and Millsonia anomala indicates that all three species may use root and fungal substrates available in soils.
