Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the response of the soil mesofauna and ground-dwelling arthropods to vegetation structure and composition in a mountain pasture. The pasture mainly comprised five types of plant communities; Agrostis alba - Phleum pratense community, Poa pratensis community, Festuca ovina community, Rumex acetosella community, and the shrub assemblage comprised Spiraea miyabei-Spiraea salicifolia community. Soil chemical properties including the pH, EC and nutrient levels were influenced by plant communities. Plant-specific responses were observed for bacteria-feeding and plant-feeding soil nematodes. Collembola and Oribatida having the same feeding habit were influenced differently by plants. nMDS showed that the community of ground-dwelling arthropods were separated by vegetation types. Species numbers of arthropods were different among different plant communities. Our results indicate that vegetation structure and composition can influence both abundance of diversity of terrestrial fauna.

산지초지의 관리 강도가 약해지면서 다양한 식물 군락이 형성되었다. 초본 군락은 흰겨이삭 - 큰조아재비 군락, 왕포아풀 군락, 김의털 군락 및 애기수영 군락이었고, 목본 군락은 덤불조팝나무 - 꼬리조팝나무 군락이었다. 군락에 따라 토양 미소동물 및 지표면 서식 절지동물의 군집 차이가 관찰되었다. 토양 화학성은 식물 군락에 따라 달랐으며, 이차적으로 다른 생물군에 영향을 주었다. 토양 선충은 같은 식성이라도 목 단위에서 다른 반응을 나타냈으며, 식물 섭식성 선충은 애기수영과 밀접한 관계를 보였다. Collembola나 Oribatida와 같은 미소절지동물의 밀도가 다른 것은 기질이 되는 유기물이나 미생물의 양이 식물 군락에 따라 다르기 때문인 것으로 추측된다. 지표면 서식 절지동물은 식물 군락별 군집 특성이나 종 수가 달랐다. 이것은 식생 구조와 구성이 절지동물의 다양성에도 영향을 준다는 것을 보여준다.
