Diversity of Microarthropods in Different Habitats: An Ecological Perspective

Abstract

AbstractSoil biological communities are influenced by several factors like edaphic factors, environmental variables, soil nutrients availability and anthropogenic changes including urban development and agricultural practices. Edaphic factors exert the conditions directly to influence microarthropods populations. To test this hypothesis, a question has been addressed; how factors regulate the ecosystem functions in contemporary a combined fashion? We observed, vegetation and habitat conditions both have close relationship and profoundly affect microarthropods populations particularly affect on local scale, resulted microclimatic influence of edaphic matrix which is generally system oriented. It is further discussed in this paper, on what attempt possible for better functional use of microarthropods which is important for conservation and for better output as a result of soil productivity in contemporary harsh climatic conditions with minimum use of amendments. It has been concluded in this study that diverse species found in structurally diverse habitats where they often appear to specialized conditions in native agricultural ecosystem.
