| Abstract: | The effect of heavy metals and nitrogen air pollution on the vertical distribution of mites in soils in about 20 year old Scots pine forests was investigated. A high concentration of heavy metals greatly reduced the density and species richness of mites, especially in the Of/h and AEes horizons, whereas a low concentration increased the density in all soil horizons, compared with the control plots. A high concentration of nitrogen pollution reduced slightly the density of mites in all soil horizons, while lower concentrations increased their density: a medium concentration in the Ol and Of/h horizons, and a low concentration in the Ol horizon. |
