We studied the short-term responses of decomposers to different forest harvesting methods in a boreal spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.). hypothesised that less intensive method is, fewer changes occur decomposer community. The treatments, addition untreated controls, were (1) selection felling (30% stand volume removed), (2) retention (tree patches retained), (3) clear felling, (4) gap without and (5) with harrowing. Microbial community structure (phospholipid fatty acids (PLFA) pattern)...
Soil microarthropods influence vital ecosystem processes, such as decomposition and nutrient mineralisation. There is evidence, however, that proper functioning of ecosystems does not require the presence all its constituent species, therefore some species can be regarded functionally redundant. It has been proposed redundancy act an insurance against unfavourable conditions, redundant may become important when a system faced disturbance (the “insurance hypothesis”). We conducted laboratory...
The use of wood ash in forestry has been questioned because the cadmium (Cd) concentration ash, which varies between 1 and 20 mg kg(-1) exceeds level allowed for fertilizers (3 kg(-1)) used agriculture. To investigate combined separated effects Cd on forest humus microflora, pumice or spiked with a water-soluble (CdCl(2)) -insoluble (CdO) form at three levels (0, 400 1000 kg(-1)), were applied fertilization 5000 kg ha(-1) laboratory microcosm study. trial consisted 60 microcosms (five...
Abstract While most ecologists agree that the effects of fragmentation on diversity organisms are predominantly negative and scale defines their severity, role habitat corridors in mitigating those still remains controversial. This ambiguousness rests largely various difficulties experimentation, a problem partially solved present paper by use easily manipulated soil communities. In this 2.5‐year‐long field experiment, we investigated responses decomposer (from microbes to mesofaunal...
