Abstract:

Oribatid mites occurring in greenhouses in Gliwice and Sosnowiec (Upper Silesia) from different vegetation types (tropical, cultivated, desertic, temperate ones) were investigated. In total 1715 oribatids, representing 58 species, were collected. The oribatid fauna was accidentally established as a result of using soil from different sources. The oribatid mite communities were poorly developed. Differences in the structure of oribatid communities were not significant. Furthermore, relationships between oribatids and specific plant species were not revealed for most oribatids. Eight rare species arriving by passive transport were collected.
