Preliminary results of a study on the soil mesofauna in disturbed spruce forest stands near Čertovo and Plešné Lakes in the Bohemian Forest (Czech Republic)

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Soil arthropod communities were studied in disturbed spruce forest stands in the catchment areas of Čertovo (CT) and Plešné (PL) Lakes in the Bohemian Forest, in the Czech Republic. This study focused on changes in forest stands, including the soil environment, which occurred following windthrow and bark beetle outbreaks. Within the soil mesofauna, two main groups, Collembola and Oribatida were analysed in detail. Four different types of plots were selected for this study in both study areas: CT1 and PL1 stands - undamaged control forest stands, CT2 and PL2 stands - "dead" forest stands damaged by bark beetles, CT3 and PL3 stands - sightly managed windthrown forest stands left to natural succession, and CT4 and PL4 stands - harvested stands. Soil samples were collected in June, July and October 2012 from each treatment. Soil arthropods were subsequently extracted in a modified high-gradient apparatus in the laboratory over a period of seven days. The data included a total of 12,464 specimens of soil arthropods belonging to 17 groups collected from both study areas. In the Čertovo Lake study area the most abundant were Acarina, followed by Collembola and Heteroptera; in the Plešné Lake study area the most abundant were Acarina and Collembola, followed by Diptera. We recorded considerable differences in the Acarina and Collembola communities in the different plots. In both of the areas studied we recorded higher abundances in unmanaged than in the disturbed and managed stands. We conclude that the bark beetle outbreak and subsequent dieback of Norway spruce did not affect the soil mesofauna as much as traditional forestry practices.
