Abstract: | A study on the microarthropod community with special reference to species diversity of Oribatid and Collembola communities
(Microarthropoda: Oribatei and Collembola) in Tam Dao National Park of Vietnam, a subtropical evergreen broad leaf alpine
forest, was undertaken with the aim to explain how they are related to forest decline, and whether they can be used as bioindicators
of forest plant succession.
The results have shown that microarthropod community structures, particularly species diversity of oribatid and collembolan
communities, are related to forest decline. Therefore they can be used as bioindicators of forest plant succession. In Tam
Dao National Park, there was an inverse relation between species diversity of the oribatid and collembola communities. The
species diversity of the oribatid community gradually decreased with forest decline whereas the species diversity of the collembola
community gradually increased. |
