Soil life supports the functioning and biodiversity of terrestrial ecosystems. Springtails (Collembola) are among most abundant soil arthropods regulating fertility flow energy through above- belowground food webs. However, global distribution springtail diversity density, how these relate to fluxes remains unknown. Here, using a dataset representing 2470 sites, we estimate total biomass at 27.5 megatons carbon, which is threefold higher than wild vertebrates, record peak densities up 2...
Springtails (Collembola) inhabit soils from the Arctic to Antarctic and comprise an estimated ~32% of all terrestrial arthropods on Earth. Here, we present a global, spatially-explicit database springtail communities that includes 249,912 occurrences 44,999 samples 2,990 sites. These data are mainly raw sample-level records at species level collected predominantly private archives authors were quality-controlled taxonomically-standardised. Despite covering continents, most come European...
Soil life supports the functioning and biodiversity of terrestrial ecosystems 1, 2 . Springtails (Collembola) are among most abundant soil animals regulating fertility flow energy through above- belowground food webs 3–5 However, global distribution springtail diversity density, how these relate to fluxes remains unknown. Here, using a dataset collected from 2,470 sites, we estimate total biomass at 29 Mt carbon (threefold higher than wild vertebrates 6 ) record peak densities up million...
Long-term changes in the collembolan community structure were studied a Scots pine forest northern Latvia over period of 11 successive years (1992–2002). Soil Collembola yearly sampled from three stands different age – young (30 to 40 old), middle-aged (50 70 old) and old (150 200 old). During study statistically significant increase sums positive temperatures (>+4°C) was recorded gradual decrease species richness observed all stands. The showed that air produce effects on populations....
Abstract To address the new challenge of bringing more nature into urban environment and developing adequate green infrastructure management methods, it is necessary to clarify regularities distribution main ecosystem components—soil organism communities on gradient. Microarthropods—collembolans mites—are most diverse soil animals bioindicators conditions. However, no suitable approaches exist so far help reduce high workload zoological studies make data acquisition for assessment faster....
AbstractDuring the last three centuries, people involved in natural history sciences have produced thousands of collections worldwide. Specimens been used for scientific proof various discoveries and gaining new knowledge many disciplines science not only area biodiversity but also taxonomy, species biology ecology, parasitology, evolution, organisms' responses to climate change, nature conservation other biological sub-disciplines. Despite never-ending financial struggles, world's largest...
Nowadays to ensure better plant production various artificial light sources are used in greenhouses. Light terms of photoperiod length, wavelength and temperatures is one the most important factors insect life. Whiteflies Trialeurodes spp. known feed on many species, including agriculturally ones, favourable conditions can rapidly reproduce cause vast damage. During our monitoring significant increase whitefly numbers was observed under high-pressure sodium vapor lamps Helle Magna com-pared...
Abstract The world’s increasing urbanisation and the deterioration of human quality life in major cities have redirected focus urban planning toward green infrastructure improvement and, as a result, increased research ecosystems. This article analyses changes structure Collembola communities soil urban-rural gradient city Rīga, Latvia. Soil samples were collected 21 randomly selected sample plots within six habitats: street edge grasslands, downtown parks, private houses, cemetery suburban...
