Abstract

Agricultural management increases the seasonal dynamics of soil-dwelling organisms compared to natural habitats. Our knowledge is very poor about the relationship between seasonal changes of soil microorganisms and the microbivorous soil arthropods. To reveal these connections, we have to know more about the seasonal changes of soil-dwelling microarthropods in croplands. Actinedid mites are rarely the subject of synecological studies, however, this group regularly reaches the dominant part of mite assemblages in agro-ecosystems. In this study, we investigated the seasonal density changes of actinedid mites from two independent studies of agricultural fields. Soil samples were taken from maize and wheat fields for two years, and from newly established meadows for one year in summer and autumn in Hungary. Soil-dwelling mites were enumerated and identified at the suborder level and soil parameters were measured. Actinedid mites dominated most of our soil samples. The density of Endeostigmata was the highest in the summer and the density of Heterostigmata was the highest in the autumn within one year among different crop species, soil types, and years. Endeostigmatid mites had negative relationships with soil nitrogen parameters and positive with soil moisture. Heterostigmatid mites had various relationships with soil moisture. The ecology of actinedid mites is under-examined but their high number in agricultural fields may justify the fact that they should receive more attention. We assume that Actinedida, mainly Endeostigmata and Heterostigmata are worth to investigate in croplands as a starting point to reveal the connection between the seasonality of soil mites and soil microbiota.

农业田间的活动螨是否值得关注?
与自然栖息地相比,农业管理增加了土壤生物的季节性动态。我们对土壤微生物季节变化与微生物食性土壤节肢动物之间的关系了解甚少。为了揭示这些联系,我们必须更多地了解农田土壤微节肢动物的季节变化。针状螨很少作为协同研究的对象,但在农业生态系统中,针状螨是螨类的主要组成部分。在本研究中,我们通过两个独立的农田调查,调查了actiinedid螨的季节性密度变化。土壤样本在匈牙利的玉米和小麦地里采集了两年,在夏季和秋季从新建立的草地上采集了一年。在亚目水平上对土栖螨进行了枚举和鉴定,并测量了土壤参数。在我们的土壤样本中,活动螨占多数。一年内,不同作物种类、土壤类型和年份的内生柱头密度均以夏季最高,异花柱头密度以秋季最高。线虫与土壤氮参数呈负相关,与土壤水分呈正相关。异柱头螨与土壤湿度有多种关系。对动螨的生态学研究尚不充分,但它们在农业领域的高数量可能证明它们应该得到更多的关注。我们认为,作为揭示土壤螨类季节性与土壤微生物群关系的起点,值得在农田中开展以内生柱头门和异源柱头门为主的Actinedida调查。

期刊介绍: Experimental and Applied Acarology publishes peer-reviewed original papers describing advances in basic and applied research on mites and ticks. Coverage encompasses all Acari, including those of environmental, agricultural, medical and veterinary importance, and all the ways in which they interact with other organisms (plants, arthropods and other animals). The subject matter draws upon a wide variety of disciplines, including evolutionary biology, ecology, epidemiology, physiology, biochemistry, toxicology, immunology, genetics, molecular biology and pest management sciences.
