Soil invertebrates occurrences in European North-East of Russia
The European North-East of Russia is the territory which includes the Nenets Autonomous District, represented by the East European tundra (from Kanin Peninsula to Vaigach Island), Komi Republic with its taiga ecosystems, and the Urals (Northern, SubPolar and Polar). Over 20 years of systematic studi...

| Summary: | The European North-East of Russia is the territory which includes the Nenets Autonomous District, represented by the East European tundra (from Kanin Peninsula to Vaigach Island), Komi Republic with its taiga ecosystems, and the Urals (Northern, SubPolar and Polar). Over 20 years of systematic studies of soil fauna in the studied region, a huge amount of data has accumulated that can be analyzed from different positions. Considering that the representation of Russian soil biota data, especially from European North-East of Russia in the GBIF database is not big, our data are of great interest to the scientific world community. The accumulation of such data will solve questions on national, global scales using large arrays.This study produced a dataset containing information on occurrences on soil invertebrates (Lumbricidae, Chilopoda, Diplopda, Collembola, Elateridae, Staphylinidae) in the European North-East of Russia. The dataset summarizes occurrences noted in natural and disturbed forests, tundra and mountain ecosystems. Data from 196 geo-referenced localities of European North-East of Russia (tundra, taiga and mountains ecosystems) are made. A total of 5412 occurrences are included in the resource. The current project surveys 13 species of earthworms, 20 species of millipedes, 246 species of springtails, 446 species of rove beetles, 60 species of click beetles. The diversity of soil invertebrates in the European North-East of Russia has not been fully explored and further exploration will lead to more taxa. |
