Soil microfauna are microscopic animals that live in the soil and play important roles in nutrient cycling, plant growth, and ecosystem functioning. A team of researchers from the Institute of Applied Ecology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences conducted a study on how the diversity and community assembly of soil microfauna are affected by the latitudinal gradient. The findings were published in Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment.
