“…(Reddy, 1981b) and rosegarden soil (Mukharjii and Singh, 1970). However, Fujikawa (1970) and Price (1973 ) reported that Acarina was a dominant group in their studies of forest soil. Variation in population densities have also been reported (Poole, 1961;Price, 1973).…”

Seasonal fluctuations of soil and litter microarthropod populations in a pine, Pinus kesiya Royle plantation of North Eastern India were investigated between November 1976 and November 1977. Three major groups were recognized: (a) CoUembola, (b) Acarina and (c) miscellaneous. Collembola was the most abundant group and was dominated by Isotoma trispinata (MacGillivray). The total microarthropod density ranged from 26,800 per m 2 to 145,200 per m z. CoUembola densities ranged from 10,000 to 121,200 per m 2, Acarina densities ranged from 8,800 to 41,600 per m 2, and the miscellaneous group ranged from 1,200 to 6,400 per m 2. Soil moisture was positively correlated with total arthropod, Collembola and Acarina densities. Soil temperature was positively correlated only with Acarina. Densities of Collembola and Acarina were negatively correlated.

“…These workers reported that microarthropods undergo enormous fluctuations in numbers, these being susceptible to small changes or factors that influence population size. Wallwork (1970), Fujikawa (1970) and Anderson (1988) suggests that the temporal pattern has been related to transition from one season to another which is mostly due to shift in soil moisture and temperature.…”

The present study was carried out in two adjacent areas of a natural forest and jhumland ecosystem in Mopungchuket village and Chuchuyimpang village respectively, under Mokokchung district, Nagaland, which lies at 26 o 11' 36'' North latitude and in between 94 o 17' 44'' to 94 o 45' 42'' (E) longitude. The study was conducted during January 2009 to December 2011. The vertical distribution and abundance of total soil Acarina were found to be more in the natural forest ecosystem (424.82 x 10 2 m-2) than jhum land ecosystem (264.70 x 10 2 m-2) and showed a significant decrease from upper layer to deeper layers i.e., from 0 cm to 30 cm depth. The soil Acarina showed a higher population in the natural forest, with the different values during the different seasons being 231.37 x 10 2 m-2 (rainy season), 116.20 x 10 2 m-2 (summer) and 77.25 x 10 2 m-2 (winter season) respectively. The physico-chemical factors exhibited significant correlation with soil Acarina except soil potassium. The community analysis was carried out for soil Acarina because they are one of the major groups of soil microarthropods and their contributions are maximum in term of species, abundance and distribution.
