“…Both the diversity and the composition of microarthropod species assemblages in soils are known to differ substantially with land use type, and will respond to changes in land management (Minor and Cianciolo, 2007). In a general study on microarthropods, Menta et al (2011) showed taxonomic assemblages to be clearly different between grasslands and agricultural lands, a pattern that was largely driven by differences in the mites and springtails.…”

“…After land management extensification, release from disturbance and a build-up in the amount, complexity and diversity of organic matter are expected to result in an increase of soil mite diversity with successional time (Bardgett and Shine, 1999;Maraun and Scheu, 2000). It has been shown that microarthropods are generally more abundant in soils of extensively managed systems, such as grasslands, than in intensively managed arable soils (Giller et al, 1997;Minor and Cianciolo, 2007;Postma-Blaauw et al, 2010). Likewise, taxon diversity has been shown to be higher in grasslands than in intensive arable lands (Menta et al, 2011), resulting in an overall higher soil biological quality.…”

“…Nevertheless, individuals from the family Tectocepheidae and Oppiidae were the most widely represented in both habitats; these mites are "r-selected" organisms (higher fecundity, faster development and much higher reproductive rate) according to BehanPelletier, 1999. Similarly, Minor andCianciolo (2007) reported that Mesostigmata with "k-selected" traits such as Veigaiidae, Zerconidae, Parholaspidae, and Trachitidae were associated with forest habitats, while "r-selected" families such as Ascidae, Digamasellidae, Laelapidae and Phytoseiidae were associated with agricultural ones. In our research, the most abundant species found in plantation plots belonged to the Ascidae.…”

“…The soil microflora and fauna complement each other in commutation of litter, mineralization of essential plant nutrients and conservation of these nutrients within the soil system (Marshall, 2000). Soil mites are abundant soil organisms that are sensitive to soil perturbations in agricultural practices and their number and diversity often get reduced affecting their ecosystem services (Minor and Cianciolo, 2007). Several genera of soil mites are considered good bio-indicators of habitat and soil conditions (Behan-Pelletier, 1999).…”
