- Title: The composition and distribution of soil microarthropods in the shortgrass steppe in relation to soil water, root biomass, and grazing by cattle
- Journal: Pedobiologia
- Authors: J. W. Leetham, and D. G. Milchunas
- Date: 1985
- Summary: Long-term grazing had minimal impacts on soil microarthropod populations and their depth distribution. Linotetranidae exhibited the only considerable difference in depth distribution from grazing, with a mean depth of 14 cm under light grazing and 28 cm under heavy grazing. There was 19% more soil water on the heavily grazed treatments. This positive effect of grazing may have offset a negative effect such as less vegetation and litter biomass, leading to an overall trend of grazing not having a large influence on soil microarthropods. Several soil microarthropod groups such as Pseudococci ...
