Soil fauna communities are major drivers of many forest ecosystem processes. Tree species diversity and composition shape soil communities, but their relationships poorly understood, notably whether or not depends on tree diversity. Here, we characterized macrofauna from forests composed either one three species, located in four different climate zones growing types. Using multivariate analysis...

The soil microhabitat is a heterogeneous and complex environment where local variations can modulate phenomena observed at the plot scale. Most of current methods used to describe functioning are bulk analyses which do not account for fine-scale spatial variability cannot fully processes that occur under influence 3D organisation soil. A good representation heterogeneities necessary parametrisa...

This study was conducted to identify and classify the lichens; determine the diversity index and richness of lichens. A total of 36 species belonging to six genera under three families was identified. Lichen species were mostly found at moderate high altitudinal range with an elevation of 1,131 meters above sea level and open areas where they received adequate sunlight with high moisture and hu...

Abstract Peat bogs are among the most threatened habitats in Central Europe. They characterized by stagnant water with low pH and lower nutrient content compared to surrounding habitats. The flora fauna of peat comprised many habitat specialist rare species. We explored differences spider European spruce Scots pine forests. Furthermore, we assessed effect microhabitat diversity bog forests Poia...
