Soils and crops in Mediterranean agrosystems are vulnerable to climate change and environmental stresses, and they will be more and more in the next future. In this scenario, soil organic matter (SOM) plays a crucial role and its level is principally determined by the continuous physical and chemical action of soil fauna. While the importance of microorganisms in fruit agrosystems has been extensively and recently highlighted, the role of soil fauna - and particularly of macrofauna - to ecosystem services has been often overlooked. On this basis, the aim of this study was to characterize and compare C/N dynamics and other soil physicochemical parameters, soil macrofauna abundance, bioturbation and litter/SOM decomposition indices in a Medit...
