Diversity of Collembola under various types of anthropogenic load on ecosystems of European part of Russia

Despite the key role played by soil organisms in the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems and provisioning of ecosystem services (Barrios 2007, Bardgett and Putten 2014) available open data on soil biodiversity are incongruously scarce (Eisenhauer 2017, Cameron 2018). This is especially true for Ru...

Description
Summary:Despite the key role played by soil organisms in the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems and provisioning of ecosystem services (Barrios 2007, Bardgett and Putten 2014) available open data on soil biodiversity are incongruously scarce (Eisenhauer 2017, Cameron 2018). This is especially true for Russia, but contrasts long traditions of soil zoological research and large volumes of data that were collected during the second half of the 20th century for the territory of the former USSR. Last year 41,928 georeferenced occurrences of soil-dwelling arthropods Collembola were digitized and published through GBIF.org. This work continues these activities. The article combines descriptions of three new sampling-event datasets about the various types of anthropogenic load on the diversity and the abundance of Collembola, small arthropods involved in the destruction of organic residues in the soil:Collembola of winter wheat fields in the Kaluga Region: conservation treatment versus conventional one (Kuznetsova et al. 2020). The following variants were studied: 1) treatment with organic fertilizers and tillage, without mineral fertilizers and pesticides, 2) the same but without tillage, only disking; 3) with mineral fertilizers, pesticides and tillage. Special multi-scale sampling design was used. The material was collected on July 24–26, 2019 in Kaluga region, European part of Russia. Data on 2226 records on 7302 specimens of 32 species in 6 fields in 486 soil cores are presented.Collembola of broadleaved forests along gradient of urbanization in Moscow (Kuznetsova and Ageeva 2020). Sampling plots were placed in oak and lime forests located at different distances from the center of Moscow. The material was collected in different seasons of 1990–1991. Data on 1737 records on 6873 specimens of 64 species (17 series of sampling, 720 soil cores) are presented.Collembola in clear cutting areas of Arkhangelsk region: spatial and temporal series of the data (Kuznetsova and Klyueva 2020). Sampling plots were in birch forests of ...
