Biodiversity of Floodplain Soils in the European North‐East of Russia

Abstract

River floodplains are unique nature landscapes. In contrast to zonal communities on watersheds, soil biota of river floodplains is studied in less degree. The research was conducted in the floodplain forests in the European NorthEast of Russia and showed high diversity of soil biota in alluvial forest soils. Floodplain forest soils are inhabited by 70 species of micromycetes, 53 genera of Nematoda, 60 species of Collembola, and 110 species of large invertebrates. Alluvial meadow soils with stable moisture and temperature conditions are characterised by high species diversity of micromycetes, nematodes and large invertebrates. Collembola prefer alluvial soddy soils. Soil microorganisms, meso-and macro-fauna can essentially increase taxonomic diversity and number in alluvial meadow-boggy soils at warming autumn.

“…The biodiversity of lichens in coastal regions was reflected in the contributions of Andreev et al (2017) and Markovskaya et al (2017) Fauna and zoocoenoses of coastal areas were topics in the contributions by Boev (2017), Kolesnikova (2017), Kolesnikova et al (2017), ), Strat et al (2017. From taxonomic point of view these studies concerned both invertebrates (Kolesnikova 2017;Kolesnikova et al 2017;) and different vertebrates (Boev 2017;Strat et al 2017). The conservation of species and habitats of community importance, including flagship species was presented in particular by Strat et al (2017).…”

Influence of Selected Environmental Parameters on Rove Beetle (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) Communities in Central European Floodplain Forests

“…The results of our research showed that the wetland habitats of the Danube, Begej and Tisa Rivers could provide suitable conditions for rove beetle communities with high species richness. Also, according to Kolesnikova et al (2016), rove beetles are characterized by high species diversity in wetlands and alluvial forest. According to Derunkov (2009), wetland ecosystems in general, especially oodplain forests are key habitats for many rare species, including postglacial relicts.…”
