Edaphic fauna and soil properties under different managements in areas impacted by natural disaster in a mountainous region

ABSTRACT Soil invertebrate fauna plays a major role in several environmental processes, and its absence can negatively impact ecosystem health.This study aimed to assess the recovery of epigeal and edaphic invertebrate faunal communities following an environmental disaster, with landslides, mudflow, and river floods, in sites under different manage

Advancing studies on global biocrust distribution

Biological soil crusts (biocrusts hereafter) cover a substantial proportion of the dryland ecosystem and play crucial roles in ecological processes such as biogeochemical cycles, water distribution, and soil erosion.Consequently, studying the spatial distribution of biocrusts holds great significance for drylands, especially on a global scale, but
