Microarthropods communities as indicators of soil quality in a Mediterranean periurban forest using the QBS-ar index by Cristina Rodríguez-Pajares, E. Jordán Muñoz-Adalia, Mercedes Fernández-Fernández

“…Soil parameters were analysed in situ: surface stoniness (SuS), leaf litter weight (Lw), and in the laboratory with the following parameters: soil humidity (Hu), bulk density (Bd), real density (Rd), porosity (P), sample stoniness (SoS), percentage of litter (Lc), soil texture (T), and organic matter (OM). The main variables that caused variations in these indicators by biotope were identified through a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and analysed using generalized linear models (GLMs). …”
