Relationship between soil type, humus form and macrofauna communities (Myriapoda and Isopoda) in forests of the Moravskoslezské Beskydy Mountains, Czech Republic

Original language description

The effect of soil type, form of humus and altitude on the species composition and density of soil invertebrate communities was studied. Pitfall traps was used to examine diversity of selected epigeic invertebrate groups, i.e. Diplopoda, Chilopoda and Isopoda. A total of 40 species of these groups were captured in traps in a set of 38 sites in forests of Beskydy Mountains, Czech Republic, and monitored for 2007-2012. Overall findings showed the presence of species with wide tolerance to the soil type. High numbers of species were found on Cambisols and Leptosols; Histosols and Stagnosols exhibited smaller number of species and lower abundance. Regarding the form of humus, most abundant populations occurred in soils with Moder humus. Sites with Mor humus were dominated by representatives of the Chilopoda (Lithobiomorpha). Soils with Mull humus were characterised with the presence of species resistant to drying. Sites with Tangl humus were characterised by the presence of Hyloniscus ryparius (Isopoda). The altitudinal analysis revealed the preference of Isopoda to lower altitudes, Chilopoda to middle and Diplopoda to middle and high altitudes.
