Soil Collembola communities along a steep microclimatic gradient in the collapse doline of the Silická ľadnica Cave, Slovak Karst (Slovakia)
Abstract In spring 2005 we investigated the collembolan communities in the 50-m-deep collapse doline of the perennial ice cave Silická ľadnica in the Slovak Karst (Slovakia). Samples were taken at seven sites along a 117.5-m-long transect on the slope from the ice-bearing cave mouth at the bottom of...
