| Abstract | Soil microorganisms and microfauna are major constituents of the detrital food web. As they decompose plant and animal residues they recycle essential plant nutrients. In so doing they regulate the productivity of the system. Because of their major role in system regulation this presentation will investigate the processes involved in the development of a detrital food web in disturbed mine spoils. |
