Abstract

The work within the framework of the application of katena approach to characterize the landscape diversity of the natural reserve "Dnieper-Orelsky" made ekomorfic characteristics of soil macrofauna community one of the elements of the katena complex - bog meadow biogeocoenosis. Soil macrofauna community presented a high level of taxonomic and ecological diversity. The study found that, in bog meadow biogeocoenosis which is formed on the meadow-marsh carbonate loamy soil, identified the presence of 59 species of soil macrofauna. The total number of community is 197.5 ind./m2. Ekomorfic community structure is a sensitive indicator of environmental conditions which exist soil invertebrates. Earthworms are presented littered Dendrobaena octaedra, amfibiontnim Eiseniella tetraedra, soil and litter Dendrobaena veneta, soil Aporrectodea caliginosa and Aporrectodea rosea and Norn Octodrilus transpadanus. Cenomorfic community structure indicates its amfitsenotichesky character. The community is dominated by gigrofiles, of Ground form megatrofotsenomorfes. Almost equal ratio of herbivores and saprophages indicates the balance of mineralization and humification processes in the community. As a study of prospects can be considered an extension of the spectrum of ecosystems for research within the catena and define the role of edaphic factors in the formation ekomorficheskoy community structure at the level of individual habitats. soil Aporrectodea caliginosa and Aporrectodea rosea and Norn Octodrilus transpadanus.
