Toxicity of phenmedipham and carbendazim to Enchytraeus crypticus and Eisenia a...
Chelinho, Sonia; Domene, Xavier; Campana, Paolo; Andrés, Pilar; Römbke, Jörg; Sousa, J. P.Purpose The main objective of the present study was to evaluate the toxicity of two reference chemicals, Carbendazim and Phenmedipham, for the compostworm Eisenia andrei (effects of Carbendazim) and the potworm Enchytraeus crypticus (effects of Phenmedipham) in 12 Mediterranean soils with contrasting soil properties. The observed toxicity was also compared to that obtained for OECD standard soil, used as a cont...
Tropical terrestrial model ecosystems for evaluation of soil fauna and leaf lit...
Förster,Bernhard; Garcia,Marcos; Höfer,Hubert; Morgan,Edward; Römbke,JörgThe aim of this work was to evaluate whether terrestrial model ecosystems (TMEs) are a useful tool for the study of the effects of litter quality, soil invertebrates and mineral fertilizer on litter decomposition and plant growth under controlled conditions in the tropics. Forty-eight intact soil cores (17.5-cm diameter, 30-cm length) were taken out from an abandoned rubber plantation on Ferralsol soil (Latosso...
The earthworm fauna of regenerating forests and anthropogenic habitats in the c...
Römbke,Jörg; Schmidt,Petra; Höfer,HubertThe aim of this study was to evaluate abundance, biomass and diversity of earthworms in the southern coast region of the Mata Atlântica biodiversity hotspot. A total of 51 study sites in pastures, banana monocultures, mixed agroforestry systems, secondary forests in succession and old-growth forests near the coast of Paraná, Brazil, were evaluated. Each site was sampled once. Species richness of the earthworms ...
State of the science and the way forward for the ecotoxicological assessment of...
Kuperman,Roman G.; Checkai,Ronald T.; Garcia,Marcos Vinicius Bastos; Römbke,Jörg; Stephenson,Gladys L.; Sousa,José PauloOver the past two decades, soil ecotoxicologists have made strides in utilizing the basic concepts and advancements in soil zoology and ecology. They have applied the existing tools, and developed new ones to investigate how chemical contamination can affect soil ecosystems, including the degradation or destruction of soil quality and habitats or the diminishment of belowground biodiversity. Soil ecotoxicologis...
Benefits from ecological study methods to taxonomy of enchytraeids in southern ...
Schmelz,Rüdiger Maria; Peña,Rut Maria Collado de la; Römbke,JörgThe objective of this work was to determine how taxonomy benefited from the ecological quantitative and site-based sampling methods in enchytraeids studies. Enchytraeids (small relatives of earthworms) were sampled in different phases of rain forest regeneration in the southern Mata Atlântica in Paraná, Brazil. The research combined ecological and taxonomic work, because enchytraeids are poorly studied and diff...
