Abstract

Abstract Millipedes are soil macrodetritivores with considerable roles in decomposing organic matter and recycling nutrients. This paper aims to identify the effects of land use on millipedes based on a literature review. Land use changes impact species distribution, diversity, and behavior with consequences for litter decomposition and soil quality. Surrounding landscapes influence the millipedes’ community structure. The effects of land use under different ecological contexts and in wetlands and woody riparian zones constitute essential gaps in knowledge.
