Abstract
Abstract Density variability of a population of the mollusk Brephulopsis cylindrica (Menke, 1828) was studied at a reclaimed site in the Nikopol manganese ore basin. This study was conducted on sod-lithogenic soil on grey-green clay. The samples were collected over 3 years, 3 times a year, on a regular grid. Lexis aggregation index (λ) and geostatistical tools were used to characterise spatial distribution of the mollusks. The correlation between the distribution of B. cylindrica and environmental factors was established using correlation analysis. Valid correlations were identified between distribution of the mollusk and variation of the fraction content in composition of structural aggregates of soil. Also, valid correlations were identified with plant species composition at the reclaimed site.
期刊介绍:
The Journal Ecology (Bratislava) places the main emphasis on papers dealing with complex characteristics of ecosystems. Treated are not only general, theoretical and methodological but also particular practical problems of landscape preservation and planning. The ecological problems of the biosphere are divided into four topics: ecology of populations: study of plant and animal populations as basic components of ecosystems, ecosystem studies: structure, processes, dynamics and functioning of ecosystems and their mathematical modelling, landscape ecology: theoretical and methodical aspects, complex ecological investigation of territorial entities and ecological optimization of landscape utilization,
