Springtail (Collembola) communities in floodplains of the taiga zone of the Komi Republic

摘要

The species composition and structure of collembolan communities in floodplain soils were analyzed; a total of 65 species were found. The highest springtail species diversity was revealed in soils of birch-aspen forests. Collembolan communities in meadow soils were the most similar to those in the aspen forests of the second and third age classes. Prevalence of edaphic and hemiedaphic species is characteristic of soils of birch-aspen forests.
