Also, soil fauna, such as collembola, earthworms and

The presence of detritivorous and mycophagous organisms, as springtails and
Oribatid mites, supports the hypothesis that they are using debris accumulated and underline the importance of arthropods on litter decomposition in bromeliads.
Indeed, according to [13], soil moisture is one of the most decisive factors affecting the life of
