Kurzfassung: Aufgabe des Vorhabens war es, die Voraussetzungen für den Schutz der in § 2 des BBodSchG (1998) beschriebenen Funktion des Bodens als Lebensraum für Boden- organismen in zweierlei Hinsicht zu verbessern: Zum einen waren für die Beurteilung der Bodenqualität geeignete biologische Indikatoren (d. h. Organismengruppen) zu iden- tifizieren. Zum anderen sollten anhand entsprechender Parameter für ausgewählte Biotop- typen Zielvorgaben ermittelt werden, anhand derer geprüft werden kann, ob ein Boden die Lebensraumfunktion erfüllt. Letztlich soll damit die Nationale Strategie zur Biologischen Vielfalt umgesetzt werden, z. B. durch eine Ausweitung des bodenbiologischen Monitoring auf Bodendauerbeobachtungsflächen (BDF). Dazu wurden zuerst die bisher vorgeschlagenen Methoden und Konzepte (inklusive der gesetzlichen Rahmenbedingungen) zur Nutzung der Bodenbiodiversität für die Bodenqualitätsbeurteilung zusammengestellt. Parallel dazu wurde eine Datenbank aufgebaut, in der die aus einzelnen Bundesländern (BDF) als auch aus der Literatur (speziell den Partnern) stammenden bodenbiologischen Daten zu Collembolen, Oribatiden, Lumbriciden und Enchytraeen zusammengetragen und kritisch beurteilt wurden. Die biogeographische Verbreitung ausgewählter Arten der vier Invertebratengruppen sowie ihr Vorkommen in Abhängigkeit von den wichtigsten Standortfaktoren (Landnutzung, pH, Textur, organischer Gehalt) wurden in Karten und Tabellen dargestellt (Informationen zu weiteren Arten sind dem Anhang zu entnehmen). Basierend auf der statistischen (= multi- variaten) Auswertung der Abhängigkeit des Vorkommens dieser Arten von Standort- und Bodeneigenschaften wurden Vorschläge für Referenzwerte, differenziert nach Biotoptyp bzw. Landnutzung, erarbeitet. Für Mikroorganismen war eine analoge Auswertung nicht möglich, so dass hier der Fokus auf der kritischen Diskussion vorhandener Methoden zur Erfassung ihrer Diversität lag. Abschließend wurde eine Defizitanalyse zum Stand der Bodenbiodiversitätserfassung in Deutschland durchgeführt sowie konkrete Vorschläge zur Weiterentwicklung des bodenbiologischen Monitorings, speziell auf BDF, gemacht. Dabei wurden auch die ökosystemaren Leistungen der Bodenorganismen berücksichtigt. 17.

Abstract The aim of this project was the improvement of the preconditions for the protection of the habitat function of soil as described in § 2 of the German Federal Soil Protection Act (1998), in particular in two ways: first, suitable biological indicators (i.e. organism groups) for the assessment of soil quality had to be identified. Second, reference values useful for selected biotope types had to be established in order to decide whether a soil did fulfil the habitat function or not. Finally this work was intended to improve the German “National Strategy for Biological Diversity”, e. g. by broadening soil biological monitoring at existing permanent soil monitoring sites (BDF). In order to reach this aim, existing methods and concepts (including the legal background) for the usage of soil biodiversity for soil quality assessment were compiled. In parallel, a database was set up, in which soil biological data coming from BDF of several German states as well as from literature (especially from the partner institutions) on Collembola, Oribatida, Lumbricidae and Enchytraeidae was compiled and critically discussed. The biogeographical distribution of selected species from the four invertebrate groups and their distribution in relation to the most important site factors (land use, pH, texture, organic matter) were presented in maps and tables (similar information for additional species was put into an Annex). Based on the statistical (= multivariate) evaluation of the relationship between the distribution of these species and site and soil properties, proposals for reference values were made (differentiated according to biotope types and land use). Since it was not possible to perform a similar evaluation for microorganisms, the work with this group focused on a critical discussion of available methods used for the recording of their diversity. Finally, a deficit analysis concerning the state-of-the-art of soil biodiversity assessment in Germany was performed. A detailed proposal how to improve soil biological monitoring was made, focusing in particular on BDF. In this context, the ecosystem services provided by soil organisms were also considered. 17.

    NOTTINGHAM TRENT UNIVERSITY DIFFERENT LAND USE EFFECT ON EARTHWORMS AT SAFE PROJECT SITE IN SABAH, BORNEO by SRI VENKATESWARA RAO Dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the MSc. Endangered Species Recovery & Conservation 2013 Abstract Earthworms are a major component of the soil biota as ‘ecosystem engineers’ sensitive to disturbance and the impact of deforestation on earthworms remains as one the least studied subject in tropical Borneo whose rainforest is fast disappearing due to logging and intensive agriculture. As such, this study investigated the impact of land use disturbance on earthworms by comparing their abundance per m2 across forest modification gradient and measured changes in environmental variables across the gradient and their subsequent effect on earthworms. Old growth (OG2), secondary logged forest (B and F) and oil palm (OP2 and OP3) sites were surveyed in SAFE Project site in Sabah, Borneo. Transect and monolith digging methods were employed to sample earthworms from soil. At each monolith, environmental variables were measured to characterise each land use by canopy exposure, litter depth and forest quality and soil samples were taken to analyse soil properties. Earthworm abundance was highest in OG2 and decreased across the disturbance gradient and was significantly lower in OP2 indicating some level of tolerance between old growth and secondary forest system. However, functional group response and changes in functional group composition varied significantly between land uses and corresponded significantly to variation in environmental variables which also significantly differed between land uses. Changes in functional group response potentially show greater implication for soil function and the ecosystem services derived from the processes.

  • Why Are There So Many Exotic Springtails in Australia? a Review
    90 (3) · December 2018 pp. 141–156 Why are there so many exotic Springtails in Australia? A review. Penelope Greenslade1, 2 1 Environmental Management, School of School of Health and Life Sciences, Federation University, Ballarat, Victoria 3353, Australia 2 Department of Biology, Australian National University, GPO Box, Australian Capital Territory 0200, Australia E-mail: [email protected] Received 17 October 2018 | Accepted 23 November 2018 Published online at www.soil-organisms.de 1 December 2018 | Printed version 15 December 2018 DOI 10.25674/y9tz-1d49 Abstract Native invertebrate assemblages in Australia are adversely impacted by invasive exotic plants because they are replaced by exotic, invasive invertebrates. The reasons have remained obscure. The different physical, chemical and biotic characteristics of the novel habitat seem to present hostile conditions for native species. This results in empty niches. It seems the different ecologies of exotic invertebrate species may be better adapted to colonise these novel empty niches than native invertebrates. Native faunas of other southern continents that possess a highly endemic fauna, such as South America, South Africa and New Zealand, may have suffered the same impacts from exotic species but insufficient survey data and unreliable and old taxonomy makes this uncertain. Here I attempt to discover what particular characteristics of these novel habitats are hostile to native invertebrates. I chose the Collembola as a target taxon. They are a suitable group because the Australian collembolan fauna consists of a high percentage of endemic taxa, but also exotic, non-native, species. Most exotic Collembola species in Australia appear to have originated from Europe, where they occur at low densities (Fjellberg 1997, 2007).

  • Bieszczady Earthworm Conference
    BIESZCZADY EARTHWORM CONFERENCE University of Rzeszow, Poland University of Central Lancashire, UK Bieszczady National Park Ustrzyki Górne, 3 - 4. 09. 2018 1 Contents 1.0 Introduction. – p.3 2.0 Conference Programme. – p.7 3.0 Abstracts of Presentations and Posters. – p.9 2 1.0 INTRODUCTION Bieszczady is a mountain range that runs from the extreme south-east of Poland through Ukraine and Slovakia. It forms the western part of the Eastern Beskids (Beskidy Wschodnie), and is more generally part of the Outer Eastern Carpathians. The mountain range is situated between the Łupków Pass (640 m) and the Vyshkovskyi Pass (933 m). Frequently Bieszczady refers only to the Western Bieszczady or even only to the part of the range lying within Poland. The highest peak of Bieszczady is Mt. Pikuy (1405 m) in Ukraine. The highest peak of the Polish part is Tarnica (1346 m). History Settled in prehistoric times, the south-eastern Poland region that is now Bieszczady was overrun in pre-Roman times by various tribes, including the Celts, Goths and Vandals (Przeworsk culture and Puchov culture). After the fall of the Roman Empire, of which most of south-eastern Poland was part (all parts below the river San) of Hungarians and West Slavs invaded the area. The region subsequently became part of the Great Moravian state. Upon the invasion of the Hungarian tribes into the heart of the Great Moravian Empire around 899, the Lendians of the area declared their allegiance to the Hungarians. The region then became a site of contention between Poland, Kievan Rus and Hungary starting in at least the 9th century.

Gomphiocephalus hodgsoni Carpenter was only the second collembolon to be described from the Antarctic continent. It was collected first in 1902 from Granite Harbour, southern Victoria Land, Eastern Antarctica, by the British National Antarctic Expedition (1901–1904). Since then several studies have investigated the distribution, ecology, ecophysiology and molecular composition of the species. Despite two morphological redescriptions and an absence of detailed evolutionary phylogenetic studies, the genus Gomphiocephalus was recently reduced to a subgenus of Schoettella Sch¨affer. Here, we redescribe the species in detail and use morphological and molecular (cytochrome c oxidase subunit I and 28S ) data to indicate its generic relationships within Hypogastruridae. Characters of Gomphiocephalus do not conform with those of any extant genus in the family, including Schoettella. In addition, the only Schoettella species described from the southern hemisphere, Schoettella subcorta Salmon, is shown here to belong in the genus Xenylla. Furthermore, molecular data indicates the genus has no close relationship to any other in Poduromorpha, and in particular Hypogastruridae.

  • Cave Dwelling Springtails (Collembola) of Hungary: a Review
    S O I L O R G A N I S M S Volume 83 (3) 2011 pp. 419–432 ISSN: 1864-6417 Cave dwelling springtails (Collembola) of Hungary: a review László Dányi Systematic Zoology Research Group of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, and Department of Zoology, Hungarian Natural History Museum, Baross u. 13. H-1088, Budapest, Hungary e-mail: [email protected] Abstract A historical review of Hungarian cave springtail studies is given. All literature concerning this field is compiled and the species are listed along with their localities. In spite of the relatively low number of caves investigated regarding their Collembola fauna, 67 species have been reported from Hungarian caves until now. Eleven taxa are endemic to the cave or karst system where they were described from, which indicates highly promising perspectives for further biospeleological research in Hungary. The listed species are discussed in relation to the collembolan fauna of neighbouring countries and an attempt is made to discern zoogeographical patterns within the country.

Introduction Cave fauna is generally highly specific and especially interesting for faunistics, biogeography and evolutionary biology (Romero 2009). Thus, Hungarian biospeleological research started as early as the middle of the 18th century (Frivaldszky 1865). In spite of this, caves in this country are far from being thoroughly investigated regarding their Collembola fauna, even though Hungary is relatively poor in caves due to its geographical situation compared with surrounding countries. Nevertheless, work in this field almost completely ceased in Hungary towards the end of the 1960’s, while biospeleological studies on springtails continued in neighbouring countries (see for example Kováč 2000, Novak 2005 and Kováč & Papáč 2010 for Slovakia, Gruia 2003 for Romania, Vargovich 2005 for the Ukraine, Lukić & Deharveng 2008 and Lukić et al.
