The experiment was carried out on 3 organic farms in the Kujawy-Pomerania Province in 5 different habitats to determine the number and species composition of mites. Ten replicate samples of 50 cm 3 and 17 cm 2 were collected in 2011 from 3 layers, so altogether 780 samples were collected. In total, 14 taxa of Oribatida were identified. The total number of mites and Oribatida significantly differed in the analyzed habitats.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
