Study of population density and biomass of soil microarthropods in soil, herbaceous leaf litter and wood leaf litter was conducted at 4 sites with different flora in Mt. Jumbong, a nature reserve area, in Korea from Aug. 1994 to May 1996. Total 47, 849 individuals of soil microarthropods in soil were collected and identified into 6 different classes, and 16 orders. The composition, densities, and dominant group of soil microarthropods were different among 4 sampling sites. Collembola was the most abundant group with 50.7% at South-facing slope and 50.6% at the North-facing slope. But Acari was the most abundant group with 49.8% at Altitude 900m site and 47.7% at Altitude 1100m site. Two group ranged 87-95% of total individuals. A/C ratio was less than 1.0 at 4 sampling sites during the all sampling seasons. As a result of biomass evaluation, rato of Acari was decreased but ratio of Diplopoda, coleoptera, Araneae, Diptera and Chilopoda was increased. About 70% of total orders and densities were found in less than 5cm soil depth. The composition, densities, and dominant group of soil microarthropods were different among soil, herbaceous litter and wood litter. Collembola was the most abundant group in herbaceous and wood litter. A/C ratio was less than 1.0 in litter during the sampling seasons. As a result of biomass evaluation in litter, ration of Araneae and Collembola was very high, but ratio of Acari was low.

The effect of forest fire on soil microarthropod fauna was investigated in the Inhoo Park, located at Deokjin-gu, Chonju city, where fire burned about 2 hectares on April 5, 1994. Vegetation of the area was covered with mixed forest such as 20 to 30 year old black locust, alder, and pine gree, etc., and also rich in understory plants, dead leaves, twigs, etc. The soil samples were taken from burnt soil and near-by control site on April 10, June 6 and Oct. 22 in 1994, and June 26, 1995. Soil microarthropods were extracted using Tullgren apparatus for 72 hours. Soil microarthropods collected in this experiment were 8, 013 at control and 3, 805 at the burnt site making a total of 11, 818 from 5 classes. Therefore, appearance of microarthropods was reduced to 52.5% at burnt site. Dominant animal groups were Acari (45%) and collembola (46%). The reduced rate of soil animal density by fire damage was 52.5% of the total soil microarthropods accounting 36% in Acari and 70% in collembola. The reduction of soil animal density by fire was 65.3% by habitat destruction and 51.7% by diret shock from fire heat. In Collembola, 89% was reduced by habitat destruction. Oribatid mites collected at sample plots included 29 families, 47 genera and 58 species. Forty-two species at burnt site and 47 species at unburnt site were identified, of these 32 being common species at both sites. The density ratio of soil animals at the burnt sites and those at unburnt sites was 38.6% va 61.4% resulting in 37% reduction due to fire. The dominant species with more than 5% in relative density were Trichogalumna nipponica (7.3%) and Eremobelba japonica (5.8%) at unburnt site, shereas 5 species including Eohypochthonius crassisetiger (8.5%) at the burnt site. The number of these species were 32.1% of total number. MGP analysis based on the number of oribatid mites indicated GP type at both unburnt and burnt sites, revealing domination of the P group in oribatid mites.

This study was objected to figure out the soil microarthropod fauna in forests with different flora, and to elucidate how environmental factors affect the diversity of soil microarthropods. Relationships between the distribution density of soil microarthropods and environmental factors were correlated positively with organic matter and C/N ratio. By the calculation of the contribution coefficients, organic matter, amount of precipitation, C/N ratio, and soil moisture were found to be major environmental factors that affect the distribution of soil microarthropods.

Effects of chitin and chitosan treatments on soil microorganisms and the mesofauna were investigated in a microcosm and a fumigated field experiment. Responses of microorganisms were determined using microbial phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) analysis, whereas responses of the mesofauna were measured in terms of the abundances of nematodes and microarthropods. Soil nitrate concentration increased on the application of chitin. Overall, chitin promoted bacterial and fungal abundance, leading to an increase in abundance of free-living soil nematodes that feed on decomposers. The ratio of saturated to unsaturated fatty acids was highest in the chitin-treated soil. Chitosan had a minimal effect on the abundance of microorganisms; however, it reduced the abundance of collembolans in the microcosm experiment. These results indicate that the application of chitin has beneficial effects on the supply of nutrients and promotion of the abundance of soil organisms.

남산과 광릉의 잣나무림에서 낙엽분해에 관련된 토양미소절지동물을 이목이상의 상위분류군으로 동정한 결과 개체수에 있어서 두 지역 모두 응애류가 61-68%, 톡토기류가 27-35%로 두 분류군이 절대다수를 점유하고 있었다. 응애류에서는 날개응애아목이 현저하게 많았으며, 중기문, 전기문아목은 소수군에 속하였다. 응애류의 총개체수가 광릉이 남산보다 약간 많은 것 이외에는 두 지역간의 토양절지동물 군집구조가 크게 다르지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 낙엽주머니의 mesh size에 따른 차이도 응애류, 거미류, 파리목의 개체수가 1.7 mm에서 0.4 mm보다 높은 것을 제외하면 양자간 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 분류군의 계절 변동에 있어서는 분류군에 따라 다른 밀도변동양상을 나타내었으나 전체적으로는 5월부터 9월까지의 밀도가 다른 시기의 밀도보다 높은 것으로 나타났고, 특히 낙엽분해 1년차에는 7월의 밀도가 뚜렷하게 높게 나타났다. 낙엽의 잔존율은 낙엽후 1년 동안은 지속적으로 떨어졌다. 낙엽분해 2년차에서는 잔존률의 하강속도가 둔화되는 경향을 보였으며, 최종조사 시점인 22개월 후의 낙엽잔존율은 약 40% 정도가 되었으며, 두 지역간, 낙엽주머니 mesh size간에 차이가 없었다. 이상의 결과에서 낙엽분해 2년차까지는 남산과 광릉의 입지환경 차이가 두 지역 잣나무 낙엽분해과정에 관련된 토양절지동물군집과 낙엽분해율에 큰 영향을 미치지 않았던 것으로 판단된다.

Nutrient availability is a critical component of agroecosystems, and is relevant to both above- and below- ground interactions. The principal objective of this study was to determine how the cessation of fertilization affects the communities of weeds and soil organisms in a corn/wheat field. Changes in dominant weed species, substrate-induced respiration, and the population density of nematodes and microarthropods were evaluated. Microbial substrate-induced respiration (SIR) and the population density of microarthropods decreased following the cessation of fertilization and were partly correlated with the aboveground weed biomass. The cessation of organic fertilizer application but continuing application of inorganic fertilizer reduced the population density of nematodes. In response to the cessation of fertilization, weed communities were dominated by species with little dependency on fertilization. Amaranthus retroflexus was identified as the most dominant species in the corn field; however, it was replaced by Digitaria ciliaris after the cessation of fertilization. In the wheat field, the cessation of fertilization led to a rapid reduction in the biomass of most weeds, except for Vicia angustifolia, supposedly as the result of symbiotic nitrogen fixation. Additionally, the fact that weed biomass was partially correlated with SIR or the population density of microarthropods may reflect a mutual feedback between soil organisms and weeds. The results indicate that the cessation of fertilization alters communities of weeds and soil organisms through changes in weed biomass and interactions with symbiotic microorganisms.

Earthworm, a prominent ecosystem engineer within many terrestrial ecosystems, can exert profound influences on various abiotic/biotic environments through bioturbation processes such as burrowing, casting and mixing of litter and soil. In this study, we investigated how the presence or absence of earthworm (Oligochaeta) can alter the soil physico-chemical conditions and ultimately the distribution and abundance of Collembola which constitutes a large proportion of the soil fauna. During September 2010, soil organisms along with soil samples were collected from randomly installed 20 plots in Mt. Gwan-ak. We examined the differences in the abundance of Collembola among plot samples in respect to the presence/absence of earthworm and soil physico-chemical conditions (i.e., pH, $PO_4^{3-}$, $NO_3^{2-}$, organic matter (OM), electrical conductance and water content). Analysis of soil physico-chemical environment revealed a significantly higher organic matter content and electrical conductance in plots with earthworm compared to plots without earthworm. Abundance of Collembola were not only higher in plots with earthworm than in plots without earthworm, but were also positively correlated with availability of OM present in the environment. The results suggest that positive impacts of earthworm on the abundance of Collembola in this study may have been due to their ability to effectively modify soil physico-chemical conditions favored by Collembola. Such conspicuous influence of earthworm's activity on below-ground community suggests their potential significance in forest restoration or revegetation process.

인삼재배에서 논전환밭의 이용이 증가하는 추세이며, 개간밭과 더불어 유기물투입의 효과를 조사할 필요가 있다. 토양생물은 유기물의 분해에 영향을 미치는 중요한 요소이기 때문에 유기물 시용이 토양생태계에 미치는 영향을 조사했다. 유박과 퇴비를 개간밭과 논전환밭에 $20Mg\;ha^{-1}$ 와 $40Mg\;ha^{-1}$로 투입하였다. 미생물상 변화는 인지 질지방산을 분석하여 검정하였고, 동물상의 변화는 미소동물의 개체밀도를 측정하였다. 미생물에 대한 PLFA 지수나 미소동물의 밀도는 개간밭보다 논전환밭에서 높았다. 개간밭에서는 유기물 투입에 의한 처리간 차이가 적었다. 논전환밭에서는 퇴비 $40Mg\;ha^{-1}$ 처리구에서 날개응애 밀도가 증가하였고, 이들의 밀도는 곰팡이 PLFA와 양의 상관관계가 나타났다. 위의 결과는 개간밭에서 유기물 함량이나 토양생물의 밀도가 낮은 심토로 개간하면 유기물을 투입하여도 토양생물에 대한 효과가 적을 수 있다는 것을 보여준다. 논전환밭에서는 유기물에 대한 토양생물들의 반응이 다르며 토양의 물리화학성도 토양생태계에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 논전환밭과 개간밭에서는 유기물에 대한 토양생물의 반응이 다르므로, 투입된 유기물의 분해나 이에 따른 양분의 순환이 다를 수 있기 때문에 두 토양에서 시비방법을 다르게 할 필요성이 있다고 생각된다.

본 연구는 인삼재배지 포장에서 부엽토와 돈분퇴비 시용이 토양생물에 미치는 영향을 조사하고자, 토양미생물, 선충, 응애 등 미소동물의 군집과 개체밀도의 변화를 관찰하였다. 토양 미생물 군락 조성과 생태를 조사하기 위하여 인지질지방산을 추출하여 지표지방산으로 분석한 결과 세균, 곰팡이, 방선균의 상대밀도는 차이가 없었다. 부엽토 처리구에서 환경스트레스 지표인 포화지방산/단불포화지방산 비율과 Cyclopropyl 지방산/전구체 지방산 비율이 높게 나타났으며, 호기성/혐기성균 비율이 낮았던 것은 유기물의 분해속도가 느리다는 것을 시사한다. 돈분퇴비 처리구에서 내생균근균인 VAM의 상대밀도 증가는 pH 증가의 영향으로 보이지만, 유기물 증가에도 불구하고 그램음성균/그램양성균 비율과 스트레스 지표가 대조구와 차이가 없었던 것은 EC나 pH 증가 등으로 인한 토양의 이화학성 변화에 의한 결과로 보인다. 돈분퇴비 시용구에서 선충의 개체밀도는 증가하였지만, 날개응애류의 개체밀도는 감소하였다. 부엽토 또는 돈분퇴비의 시용에도 불구하고 토양동물의 개체밀도는 일반 농경지와 비교할 때 매우 낮은 수준으로 나타났으며, 개간지의 경우 장기간의 예정지 관리를 통해 토양생물의 밀도를 높여 유기물의 분해효율을 증가시키는 과정이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
