Abstract
An increase in technogenic impact and the need to conserve biodiversity have set us the task of assessing the baseline biodiversity in mining areas. The aim of this research is to investigate the state of the mesofauna of invertebrates in the litter and topsoil of typical biotopes of the Middle and Southern Taiga. This research is the first of its kind in Perm Krai. The vegetation characteristics of the survey sites are based on field geobotanical descriptions. The soil sampling method was used to collect invertebrates, and soil properties were studied using conventional methods. Taxonomic diversity and the population structure of soil invertebrates were evaluated, and vegetation was described. Morphological and physical-chemical analysis of soils was performed. Correlation analysis was carried out to examine the relationship between quantitative indicators of soil mesofauna and the chemical properties of the surveyed soils. This comprehensive study was conducted across 10 survey sites for the first time. All of the surveyed biotopes exhibited the typical flora and fauna of litter and soil invertebrates found in the Ural boreal zone. At the same time, a noticeable synanthropization of vegetation was observed in all of the studied forest and meadow phytocenoses. The composition, structure, and abundance of invertebrate mesofauna in the studied biotopes were influenced by the type of phytocenosis, the composition and thickness of the litter, and the moisture levels in the soil and litter. The correlation analysis revealed a connection between soil acidity level and the quantitative indicators of Lumbricidae and Oniscidea. The natural communities studied were affected by anthropogenic factors such as land reclamation along with changes in soil composition and structure caused by mechanical disturbances during road construction, etc.
期刊介绍：
Contemporary Problems of Ecology is a multidisciplinary periodical that publishes original works on the following subjects: theoretical and methodical issues of ecology, regional aspects of ecology, regional ecological disasters, structure and functioning of ecosystems, anthropogenic transformation of ecosystems. All basic aspects of modern ecology, including the most complicated interactions between living organisms and their environment, are presented. Some of the journal issues are dedicated to global changes in biological diversity at various levels of organization (populations, species, ecosystems) principles and methods of nature conservation.
