Translation of "Bodenfauna" in English

This beneficial soil fauna stops working on dry soil or flooded with water.

In these zones, the benthic fauna is not disturbed as much than elsewhere at sea.

Worms account for an important part of the benthic fauna of the sea and tidal flats.

Oil and gas exploitation platforms have a positive effect on the benthic fauna indirectly.

The recovery of the benthic fauna is also strongly dependent upon the situation of the area.

Roots loosen the soil, allowing oxygen to penetrate. This benefits animals living in the soil.

Nevertheless, the whelk is a large sea snail belonging to the normal benthic fauna of the North Sea.

The terrestrial fauna of the Island is characterised by the absence of big vertebrates and harmful species.

The sea bottom is hardly churned up, so the influence on the benthic fauna is slight.

The lessons we have drawn from that are alarming because the problem affecting bees could well be only the most visible part of a wider problem affecting pollinating insects, entomofauna and soil fauna.

Soil organic matter is composed of organic material (plant root remains, leaves, excrements), living organisms (bacteria, fungi, earthworms and other soil fauna) and humus, the stable end-product of the decomposition of organic material in the soil by the slow action of soil organisms.

Part of the soil fauna (biomass) will disappear due to the loss of this land area that would otherwise serve as food for fish and birds.

Scientists studying the effects that different types of animal species have on plant communities have produced unexpected results, which may suggest that the eco system is less susceptible to change than previously thought.

It is headed by geologist Jörn Thiede and is devoted to three disciplines: geology, climatology and marine biology, the latter comprising two departments, one for pelagic or surface species and the other for benthic species which inhabit the ocean depths.

Amphibian Spotting Peru's rich biodiversity also includes organisms that live in the earth or soil fauna.

Where it lives with the brown trout in northern Sweden, the Arctic char tends to feed on zooplankton in the surface waters while the trout utilises the bottom fauna.

With the research project "Forest of the Future" of the LOEWE research centre "Biodiversity and Climate" (BiK-F), the effects of southern European oak species on central European soil fauna and the decomposition processes they drive are being investigated.

Mineral soils consist of 85 percent humus, about 10 percent of plant roots and 5 percent soil organisms (soil flora and fauna).

Gravity foundations are produced from reinforced concrete and—owing to their shape and operating principle—take up a very large amount of surface area compared with other solutions and seal the sea floor in the region of the foundation, the sea floor then being no longer usable to sea floor fauna and flora.

Endangered species include, amongst others, fish stocks, common seals and grey seals, whales and porpoises and sea floor fauna (benthos).

However, the disadvantage of this procedure is that the active substances? potential to affect soil fauna, to leach from the soil or to enter surface waters increases.

Accompanying research is investigating the effects the litter of these oak species (Quercus ilex, Q. frainetto and Q. pubescens) could have on central European soil-animal communities and their functions.

Areas where bladder wrack grows are important environments for other seaweed species, the bottom fauna and small fish, providing a good living environment, food, shelter and reproduction opportunities.
