Interactions between atmospheric CO2 enrichment and soil fauna

摘要: We have reviewed the responses of soil fauna to increased concentrations atmospheric CO2 and consequent climate change. These will affect several attributes animal populations communities including their density, biomass, diversity, activity, rates consumption, life history parameters migration ability. Changes in quality quantity litter global warming are main factors which expected modify fauna. Although changes been observed as a consequence CO2, no general trend might allow prediction pattern response has identified. Because complexity biological mechanisms synergetic action factors, few resulting reported literature inconclusive. However, some aspects situation deserve more attention. include consequences (1) food resources for layer rhizosphere, (2) consumption low by macrofauna, (3) change span temperature elevation, (4) enhancement earthworm burrowing activity (5) community composition arising because specific differential resistance adverse conditions.
