Soil fauna diversity at different stages of reed restoration in a lakeshore wetland at Lake Taihu, China
Introduction: Wetland soil fauna support material cycling and restoration processes in wetland ecosystems. In our study, we observed variations in wetland soil fauna on the shores of Lake Taihu, China. We examined the relationships between fauna and major environmental factors, and looked at the sho...
