The effect of litter type and macrofauna community on litter decomposition and organic matter accumulation in post-minig sites

Original language description

Field microcosms consisting of mineral soil (spoil substrate) and two types of litter taken either from an unreclaimed site with spontaneously developed vegetation (mostly Salix caprea) or from an alder plantation (a mixture of Alnus glutinosa, A. incana) were exposed in spontaneously developed or reclaimed sites at a post-mining heap near Sokolov (Czech Republic) for one year. The litter types differed remarkably in C:N ratio which was 29 for spontaneous litter and 14 for alder litter. The two microcosm types were either accessible or not accessible to soil microfauna. The effect of macrofauna exclusion on soil mixing was complex and depended on litter quality and the site that determined soil fauna composition. In reclaimed sites where macrofauna wasdominated by saprophags, mainly earthworms, the macrofauna access increased soil mixing.

Czech name

Vliv opadu a makrofauny na rozklad opadu a akumulaci organické hmoty v půdě

Czech description

Na plochách, kde byla půdní fauna dominována žížalami, zrychluje přítomnost fauny promíchávání půdy a akumulaci organické hmoty v minerální půdě. Na místech, kde je makrofauna dominována predátory, přistup makrofauny zpomaluje dekompozici a promíchávání,které je zde obstaráváno mesofaunou.
