Euedaphic Rather than Hemiedaphic or Epedaphic Collembola Are More Sensitive to Different Climate Conditions in the Black Soil Region of Northeast China
Soil biodiversity is profoundly affected by variations in climate conditions and land use practices. As one of the major grain-producing areas in China, the belowground biodiversity of the black soil region of the Northeast is also affected by the variations in climate conditions and land use types....

| description | Soil biodiversity is profoundly affected by variations in climate conditions and land use practices. As one of the major grain-producing areas in China, the belowground biodiversity of the black soil region of the Northeast is also affected by the variations in climate conditions and land use types. However, most of the previous studies have focused on aboveground biodiversity, and the research of soil biodiversity is limited. The main aim of this study was to investigate the effects of variations in climate conditions and land use practices on Collembola communities of different life forms in the black soil region of Northeast China. Here, we selected three climatic areas from high to low latitudes in the black soil region of the Northeast, with three variations in land use practices (soybean, maize, and rice) sampled in each area. We found that higher temperatures and higher humidity and land use practices from rice to soybean and maize are associated with a higher Collembola density and species richness. Specifically, the density and species richness of euedaphic Colmbola are higher in climate conditions with higher temperatures and humidity, while the density and species richness of all three life forms of Collembola are higher in land use practices from rice to soybean and maize. Additionally, we discovered that environmental factors and feeding resources (soil microorganisms) both have significant effects on Collembola communities, with environmental factors exerting a more substantial influence. Our results suggest that euedaphic Collembola are more vulnerable to climate differences than epedaphic and hemiedaphic Collembola. Consequently, this may alter the vertical distribution characteristics of soil fauna (e.g., increasing soil-dwelling fauna) as well as the ecological processes associated with soil fauna in different agricultural environments. |
