Abstract

The aim of this study was to compare soil animal communities in planted birch (Betula pendula) stands of different origin with each other and with natural forests. Six 30-year-old birch stands were investigated, three planted after clear-cutting of spruce stands, and three planted on cultivated soil. The faunal communities were markedly different in plantations established on spruce forest soil and on arable soil. âBirch after Spruceâ communities were relatively similar to those of coniferous forests, though the population densities were generally lower. âBirch after Fieldâ communities were sparse and could be characterised as âimpoverished forest communitiesâ, except in Lumbricidae and Enchytraeidae that have affinities with deciduous forests and cultural landscapes. Soil conditions are not sufficient to explain the differences between the forests. Colonisation and transport by man may determine the presence of certain species, especially earthworms. These in turn affect soil properties, and compete with or otherwise have negative effects on other soil fauna. Thus the community differences between different forests are an outcome of several factors: soil characteristics, site history, colonisation ability and interspecific interactions.

Abstract

Earthworms are an important soil taxon as ecosystem engineers, providing a variety of crucial ecosystem functions and services. Little is known about their diversity and distribution at large spatial scales, despite the availability of considerable amounts of local-scale data. Earthworm diversity data, obtained from the primary literature or provided directly by authors, were collated with information on site locations, including coordinates, habitat cover, and soil properties. Datasets were required, at a minimum, to include abundance or biomass of earthworms at a site. Where possible, site-level species lists were included, as well as the abundance and biomass of individual species and ecological groups. This global dataset contains 10,840 sites, with 184 species, from 60 countries and all continents except Antarctica. The data were obtained from 182 published articles, published between 1973 and 2017, and 17 unpublished datasets. Amalgamating data into a single global database will assist researchers in investigating and answering a wide variety of pressing questions, for example, jointly assessing aboveground and belowground biodiversity distributions and drivers of biodiversity change., H.R.P.P., B.K-R., and the sWorm workshops were supported by the sDiv [Synthesis Centre of the German Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv) Halle-Jena-Leipzig (DFG FZT 118)].

Abstract

Earthworms are an important soil taxon as ecosystem engineers, providing a variety of crucial ecosystem functions and services. Little is known about their diversity and distribution at large spatial scales, despite the availability of considerable amounts of local-scale data. Earthworm diversity data, obtained from the primary literature or provided directly by authors, were collated with information on site locations, including coordinates, habitat cover, and soil properties. Datasets were required, at a minimum, to include abundance or biomass of earthworms at a site. Where possible, site-level species lists were included, as well as the abundance and biomass of individual species and ecological groups. This global dataset contains 10,840 sites, with 184 species, from 60 countries and all continents except Antarctica. The data were obtained from 182 published articles, published between 1973 and 2017, and 17 unpublished datasets. Amalgamating data into a single global database will assist researchers in investigating and answering a wide variety of pressing questions, for example, jointly assessing aboveground and belowground biodiversity distributions and drivers of biodiversity change.

Abstract

Soil organisms, including earthworms, are a key component of terrestrial ecosystems. However, little is known about their diversity, their distribution, and the threats affecting them. We compiled a global dataset of sampled earthworm communities from 6928 sites in 57 countries as a basis for predicting patterns in earthworm diversity, abundance, and biomass. We found that local species richness and abundance typically peaked at higher latitudes, displaying patterns opposite to those observed in aboveground organisms. However, high species dissimilarity across tropical locations may cause diversity across the entirety of the tropics to be higher than elsewhere. Climate variables were found to be more important in shaping earthworm communities than soil properties or habitat cover. These findings suggest that climate change may have serious implications for earthworm communities and for the functions they provide.

Ambulacra of legs II���IV (length 32���38) with rather long paradactyli (22���24) extending clearly beyond apices of claws. Tarsi II���IV with apical setae ad 1 and pd 1 threadlike, approximately as long (26���30) as ambulacrum. Male. Not found. Remarks. Females of A. ambiguus are similar to those of A. venustulus (Berlese, 1916). They both possess fully reticulated sternal and dorsal shields (in the former species, reticulation is more pronounced laterally) and relatively large, posteriorly dilated anal shield. However, the idiosoma in A. ambiguus is larger (dorsal shield length 468���512 instead of 365���445) and wider (lD/wD 1.72���1.82 instead of 1.95���2.12). Dorsal setae in the female of the new species are in general longer and more heterogeneous, setae j 2-6 [20���28] usually longer than J 1-4 [12��� 21] (weakly distinguished in A. venustulus, j 5= J 1=10 ��m), seta Z 5 are significantly longer than other opisthonotal setae, particularly in the series J (length ratio Z 5/ J 1 1.9���2.4 instead of 1.3 in A. venustulus). In A. ambiguus, the lateral margins of the anal shield often have broad ledges as in Fig. 9 (usually almost smooth in A. venustulus); posterior and lateral parts of the shield are coarsely punctate (alternatively reticulate to different degree and finepunctate). The gnathotectum of A. ambiguus is wider (width/length ratio 1.8���2.6 instead 1.1���1.7). The sternal shield in A. ambiguus is clearly reticulate only in the lateral parts (totally and evenly so in A. venustulus), and the presternal platelets are weakly sclerotized, abutting the sternal shield (well sclerotized, separated in A. venustulus). Variability. The morphological variation in A. ambiquus is minimal and concerns mainly the number of opisthogastral and posterior marginal setae of the R series (Fig. 8), the position of seta s 2 (rarely on the dorsal shield margin) and the development of lateral protuberances on the anal shield (Figs 8, 9). Etymology. The specific name ambiguus highlights the absence of pronounced, easily recognisable differential features in this new species. Distribution and ecology. At present the new species is known only from Finland and Altai Mts., South Siberia. Such distant records possibly reflect either an insufficient level of our knowledge, or peculiarities of Arctoseius bionomy. All specimens were collected from soil and litter in forests of different humidity. Forest soil is principally a stable environment, but may include unstable and scattered microhabitats. Thus the inclination of the genus to eutrophic and temporary substrata as well as their phoretic associations with dipterans (see Makarova 1999) may be involved., Published as part of Makarova, Olga L. & Huhta, Veikko, 2017, A new species of Arctoseius Thor, 1930 (Acari: Ascidae) from taiga regions of the Palaearctic, with a key to Arctoseius species of Fennoscandia, NW Europe, pp. 554-562 in Zootaxa 4268 (4) on pages 555-559, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4268.4.6, http://zenodo.org/record/580966, {"references":["Lindquist, E.

Abstract

The study was planned to find evidence on potential cultural factors in occurrence and distribution of soil-living mites (Oribatida and Mesostigmata) in Finland. Samples were taken from meadows, gardens and forest edges at (a) isolated cottages and (b) culturally exposed farms in two areas, Sipoo/Mäntsälä and Ilomantsi. Multiple factorial analyses revealed significant differences only between the areas. Number of species was lower in Ilomantsi, where several ”southern” species were absent. The typical forest species were more abundant in the forest habitat. There was no difference between ”Cottages” and ”Farms”.
