“…However, the geographical variables showed low contributions to the diversity of the soil oribatid mite community along MLYR, indicating that other unmeasured factors were more important. Previous studies have demonstrated that soil parameters, river characteristics, and landform can affect the spatial patterns of soil biodiversity [90][91][92][93][94]. Thus, we suggest that these factors might be important in environmental filtering within longitudinal and latitudinal gradients.…”

Soil biodiversity plays an important role in maintaining soil fertility and agricultural health. Exploring the patterns of soil fauna diversity across geographical gradients is a fundamental and crucial scientific topic for understanding the mechanisms of soil biodiversity in farmlands. However, the spatial pattern of soil fauna diversity across longitudinal gradients has received far less attention. In order to explore the longitudinal pattern (west to east) of the composition and diversity of the soil oribatid mite community in paddy fields along the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River (MLYR), an investigation was carried out in July 2021 at nine sites spanning a longitudinal range of 8.86° (906 km) in southeastern China. In total, 19 taxa and 2392 individuals were observed with a density of 1535.47/m2. Protoribates and Ceratozetes were the most dominant and widely distributed genera along MLYR. The distribution patterns of the richness, abundance, and diversity index were obvious across the longitudinal and latitudinal gradients. The longitudinal pattern showed a quadratic distribution of first increasing and then decreasing, while the latitudinal pattern showed an increasing pattern with the increase in latitude (unimodal pattern). The influence of latitude on the abundance of the soil oribatid mite community was greater than that of longitude, and the influence of longitude on richness and the corresponding diversity index was greater. The dominance index did not show a distribution pattern in the longitudinal and latitudinal directions, while the evenness index showed only the distribution pattern in the longitudinal direction, and the latitudinal pattern was not significant. The results of this study suggest that the diversity of the soil oribatid mite community along MLYR displays both longitudinal and latitudinal patterns in paddy fields. Moreover, we highlighted the importance of integrating longitudinal and latitudinal patterns into spatial patterns of the soil fauna community in farmlands at a regional scale.

“…Additionally, many edaphic mites, such as oribatids, are used as bioindicators and model organisms in ecotoxicology studies (Behan-Pelletier 1999;Huguier et al 2015;Ardestani et al 2020). Therefore, a myriad of research was conducted to monitor edaphic mites' abundance and diversity (Dirilgen et al 2016;Acharya and Datta 2019;Zaitsev et al 2020).…”

Abstract. Ihsan M, Puspitarini RD, Afandhi A, Fernando I. 2021. Abundance and diversity of edaphic mites (Arachnida, Acari) under different forest management systems in Indonesia. Biodiversitas 22: 3685-3692. Edaphic mites play crucial roles in maintaining ecosystem services that are essential to human needs. However, the conversion of natural habitats followed by agricultural intensification may adversely affect edaphic mites. The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of different management systems on edaphic mite abundance, richness, and diversity in tropical rain forests in Indonesia. There were five forest management systems, which were as follows: secondary forest, production forest (pine monoculture), and three agroforestry systems (pine + coffee, mahogany + coffee, and mahogany + new cocoyam). We established a transect containing five research plots for each forest management system. Litter and soil from each plot were collected from December to March 2021. Temperature, relative humidity, and pH of litter and soil, as well as litter thickness, were measured. We found that edaphic mite abundance, richness, and diversity in the secondary forest were similar to managed forests. However, the aforementioned variables were significantly higher in “pine” systems than in “mahogany” systems. Our analysis evidenced positive correlations between litter thickness and edaphic mite abundance, richness, and diversity. Our findings may assist in selecting the appropriate forest management systems to rationalize the conversion of secondary forests to production forests and agroforestry.
