“…Roth and Schwabe, 2003;Braband et al, 2003) or other landscape-oriented measures (Waldhardt, 2003). Alvarez et al (2001) who characterised Collembola assemblages in conventional, integrated and organic winter wheat fields at three locations in England were able to show that community composition and species dominance are obviously influenced by farming systems, but no species could be identified as indicators for differentiating between the farming systems. Büchs (1993Büchs ( , 1994 and Büchs et al (1999) showed (for various crops) that Sminthurid springtails (Collembola: Symphypleona) which feed on fungi and pollen on crop plant leaves are very reliable and sensitive indicators even at higher taxonomic levels (e.g.…”

This synoptic review has the intention to summarise and highlight results in respect to the area "biodiversity and habitat" considering the current "state of the art" with regard the development of biotic indicator approaches that refer to the fauna of agro-ecosystems.Most political statements (e.g. "Convention of Biodiversity Development": Agenda 21, Convention of Rio 1992) as well as existing approaches regarding the development of biotic agri-environmental indicators focus mainly and almost exclusively on "biodiversity", the enhancement of which is the overall target for the development of agricultural landscapes towards sustainability. In this regard the understanding of the term "biodiversity" is rather different: it is largely interpreted as species richness, only occasionally as the richness of varieties, cultivars or genetical expressions (e.g. microorganisms).A survey on the understanding of biotic indicators is presented including aspects of nomenclature, categorisation and definitions as well as preconditions and rules for their use. Requirements for different taxa (mostly invertebrates) to act as biotic indicators are summarised and several attempts to use animals on the population and/or community level as biotic indicators for biodiversity or other goals in agro-ecosystems are discussed critically as well as their replacement by surrogate indicators. Regarding the sensitivity of indicators it will be highlighted that it is necessary to evaluate and to compare cultivation intensities, that are rather similar (e.g. gradual differences in conventional managed farms and landscapes) as well as those displaying much larger differences (e.g. organic farming versus conventional farming), because conventional farms currently cover nearly 90% of the agriculturally used area in Europe. Other fundamental problems regarding the development of biotic indicators as baselines, sample size, frequency of surveys, mutual neutralisation of indicators, double assessments, selection of taxa, etc. are addressed. Finally an assessment of the practicality, the power of indication statements and the remaining work required to validate indicators will be provided for discussion, as well as suggestions for a simplification of indicator systems in order to minimise the input needed for data recording.

“…Among soil fauna, collembolans have been included as biodiversity and ecological indicators among soil fauna in these "indicator shopping baskets" (sensu Stork, 1995), considering that they are among the main soil invertebrate groups in terms of abundance and diversity in the uppermost soil layers of European ecosystems (Gardi et al, 2009;Mulder et al, 2011). Also, collembolans can be good indicators as they respond to a variety of environmental and ecological factors (Hopkin, 1997), particularly to changes in soil chemistry (e.g., soil pH: Van Straalen and Verhoef, 1997;Van Straalen 1998;Rossetti et al, 2015), microclimatic conditions and microhabitat configuration, e.g., moisture (Verhoef and Van Selm, 1983;Pflug and Wolters, 2001), litter quality and humus type Chagnon et al, 2000;Hasegawa, 2002), as well as to land use type and management, like forestry and agricultural practices (Sousa et al, 2000(Sousa et al, , 2004Alvarez et al, 2001;Gardi et al, 2002;Ponge et al, 2003). Collembolans also play a relevant role in litter decomposition and nutrient cycling of the soil system at the local scale (Hopkin, 1997), while these processes may be influenced by species distributions and collembolan community patterns throughout landscape mosaics (Hedlund et al, 2004;Martins da Silva et al, 2012;Ponge and Salmon, 2013;Heiniger et al, 2014).…”

“…Com as modificações impostas pelo uso do solo, e em particular pela agricultura, a fauna e os microrganismos, em diferentes graus de intensidade, são afetados pelos impactos provocados pelas práticas agrícolas (ALVAREZ et al, 2001;ANDREN et al, 1988), tanto devido às modificações nas propriedades do solo, como pela ação direta dessas práticas sobre os organismos.…”

RESUMONo presente estudo avaliou-se o efeito de diferentes doses e modos de aplicação de calcário em plantio direto em campo nativo sobre a fauna edáfica, após cinco anos da aplicação. Organismos da fauna epiedáfica foram coletados com armadilhas tipo Provid e macrorganismos euedáficos utilizando monolitos de solos em duas épocas de amostragem: inverno e verão. Os organismos foram identificados ao nível de classe e ordem. Foram identificados 17 grupos taxonômicos, com ocorrência de cinco classes: Arachnida, Diplopoda, Crustacea, Oligochaeta e Insecta. A abundância de organismos apresentou maior variação em função das diferentes épocas de coleta e não sofreu influência das diferentes doses e modos de aplicação de calcário avaliados. Termos para indexação:Fauna edáfica, manejo do solo, calagem. ABSTRACTIn the present study one evaluated the effect of different methods and levels of lime application on soil under no-tillage system on edaphic fauna, after five years of the application. Organisms of epiedaphic fauna were sampled with "Provid" traps and euedaphics macrorganisms using soil monoliths in two sampling time: winter and summer. The organisms under study were identified in laboratory at class and order levels. One identified 17 taxonomics groups, with five classes: Arachnida, Diplopoda, Crustacea, Oligochaeta and Insecta. The abundance of organisms showed higher variation in function of different sampling time than the levels and methods of lime application.
