        abstract = {Living in the soil, millipedes are essential to the health of the soil and the cycling of nutrients.
They can speed up the breakdown of organic matter in the soil and enhance the availability of phosphorus and nitrogen. However, millipedes can also seriously harm crops, resulting in decreased yields as well as unintended consequences for plant health and soil quality. A mix of chemical and cultural control techniques suited to particular crops and environmental circumstances may be necessary for the effective management of millipedes. Urbanization significantly changes soil life and is a primary factor in the loss of local species and biotic homogeneity. A vital component of soil macrodetritivores, millipedes have a major impact on soil quality due to their crucial function in nitrogen cycling. Because they help provide a number of soil-related ecosystem services in cities, it is imperative to investigate their taxonomic and functional responses to urban disturbance.
