Patterns of land snail assemblages along a fine-scale moisture gradient
Original language description
We studied changes of terrestrial snail assemblages over a gradient of soil moisture using 60 sampling plots in the White Carpathian Mountains of the south-eastern Czech Republic. We used within-site design to control for confounding effects of site characteristics other than humidity, and we directly measured soil moisture along nine transects at distinct locations. Each transect had from 4 to 16 plots, and it was laid down from wet calcium-rich spring fen habitats to dry meadows in the fen surroundings. We observed a sharp moisture gradient along each transect, with the measured soil moisture varying from 97% in fen plots to 19% in semi-dry grassland plots. Altogether 29 land snail species and 4,213 live individuals were collected. Species richness of land snails varied from 2 to 11 species per plot. However, we did not observe any significant linear or unimodal response of species richness or total abundances to measured soil moisture.
