“…Such complicated relationships lead to the multidimensionality of any gradient of our interest (Oline & Grant, 2002). The difference in the relationship between the first RDA axis and the soil environmental factors again shows the multidimensionality as previously reported (Pankhurst et al 2001;Hemerik & Brussaard, 2002). The ordination axes given by each method or AWCD value exist in the ordination space in different locations (Fig.…”

“…Vanbergen et al (2005) point a higher small-scale habitat heterogeneity as one reason for the observed results. According to Hemerick and Brussard (2002), one of the factors influencing the distribution and diversity of soil dwelling invertebrates along a succession gradient is this habitat small-scale heterogeneity.…”

“…Besides the use of pesticides, the reasons for differences in abundance or densities across habitats between disturbed and undisturbed areas is mainly related to the availability of nutrients (HEMERIK & BRUSSAARD, 2002) and to the microclimatic changes (CARVALHO & VASCONCELOS, 1999;DIDHAM & LAWTON, 1999) occurred in the surrounding environment of the forest habitat. In the studied undisturbed area, edge did not promote a drastic invertebrate community change from the grassland to the forest interior.…”

ABSTRACT. Soil invertebrate distribution in Araucaria forest, grassland and edge habitats was studied in both disturbed and undisturbed areas in southern Brazil. Mean-density and taxa compositions were verified. Invertebrate densities differed between grassland and the other two habitats in the undisturbed area but not across the disturbed one. At the disturbed area taxa differed between the grassland and the other two habitats. The undisturbed area, on the other hand, presented taxa differences only between the grassland and the forest habitats. Acari, Arachnida and Collembola were the most sensitive taxa for detecting differences across habitats in both areas. At the disturbed area, these taxa presented densities lowering from the forest to the grassland. At the undisturbed area the same taxa increased from the forest to the grassland. Coleoptera and Formicidae (Insecta) presented no difference between habitats at the studied taxonomic level. KEYWORDS.Araucaria forest, forest edge, grasslands, Acari, Collembola.RESUMO. Invertebrados de solo no mosaico floresta com Araucaria -campos no sul do Brasil: diferenças entre áreas impactadas e não impactadas. A distribuição dos invertebrados de solo entre os em ambientes de floresta com Araucaria, borda-demata e campo, foi analisada em duas áreas no sul do Brasil: uma reserva ecológica e uma propriedade agrícola. A densidade média e a composição dos principais taxa foram verificadas. A densidade total de invertebrados diferiu entre o campo e os outros dois hábitats na área protegida, mas não na fazenda. A composição dos taxa diferiu entre o hábitat de campo e os outros dois habitats na fazenda, e entre o campo e a mata com Araucaria na área protegida. Acari, Arachnida e Collembola foram os grupos que mais apresentaram diferenças entre os diferentes habitats. Na área alterada (fazenda), esses grupos apresentaram diminuição na densidade na direção da floresta com Araucária para o campo, enquanto que na área protegida suas densidades foram maiores no campo do que na floresta com Araucária. Coleoptera e Formicidae (Insecta) não apresentaram diferenças significativas no nível taxonômico estudado.
