Title: Comparison of Collembola (springtails) communities in meadows and forests on drained peat soils of different origin

Abstract:

The results of the study carried out in areas that differed in soil moisture in two years differing in the amount of precipitation provide evidence that drained peatlands on sedge-moss peat managed as meadows enhance a higher stabilization of Collembola communities than the adjacent areas subjected to spontaneous forest succession: changes in numbers are small, biomass is higher than in the forest, and the similarity of species composition from year to year is higher than in the forest. The dominance structure, the same species being dominant, is almost identical. In the alder peat, the most suitable conditions for the development of Collembola communities are created in the area subjected to spontaneous forest succession after drainage, rather than in drained meadows. Collembola community in the forest was characterized by a higher abundance and biomass and a higher index of species diversity than in the meadow, and by a higher species similarity from year to year.
