Comparison of oribatid mite community structures among Namsan, Kwangreung, and Mt, Jumbong, which receive different levels of environmental stress from severe to almost none, was made in coniferous and deciduous forests, respectively. The number of species of oribatid mites was significantly lower in Namsan and Mt. Jumbong than in Kwangreung in the coniferous forest (p<0.05). In the deciduous forests, the number of species of oribatid mites was significantly lower in Namsan than in Kwangreung and Mt. Jumbong. Dominant species in 3 regions were remarkably different. Similarity of the oribatid community between Namsan and Kwangreung was much higher (ca. 2 times) than similarities between Namsan and Mt. Jumbong. and Kwangreung and Mt Jumbong. Diversity index (H$^{\prime}$) value of oribatid communities in deciduous forests in Namsan, Kwangreung and Mt. Jumbong was 2.74, 2.78, and 2.87, respectively. Diversity (H$^{\prime}$) value of oribatid communities in coniferous forests in Namsan, Kwangreung and Mt. Jumbong was 2.83, 2.62, and 2.38, respectively. Namsan and Kwangreung were characterized as O-type in both coniferous and deciduous forests On the contrary, Mt. Jumbong was characterized as MG-type in MGP-I analysis.

This study was carried out from May 1993 to October 1994 to examine diversity of oribatid mites in Namsan and Kwangreung coniferous forests, which were considered to receive different degrees of environmental pressures. Also, environmental factors (pH of soil and rainfall, litter depth, organic matter) were recorded in the two forests. The pH of soil and rainfall were not different between the two forests, but litter depth and organic matter were significantly higher in Namsan than in Kwangreung (p<0.05). The dominant families (>5% of the total densities) were Scheloribatidae(27.3%), Galumnidae(13.4%), Oppiidae (9.9%), Hypochthonidae(7.6%), Suctobelbidae(6.6%), Euphthiracaridae(5.9%) in Namsan and Ceratozetidae(25.9%), Mycobatidae (14.2%), Oppiidae(14.2%), Galumnidae(11.4%), Astegistidae(8.7%) in Kwangreung. The numbers of species were significantly higher in Kwangreung (103 spp.) than in Namsan (74 spp.)(p<0.05). The total densities of oribatid mites were more abundant in Kwangreung (8,709 ind.) than in Namsan (5,899 ind.) and the difference was significant for density in litter layer (p<0.05).

This study was conducted to analyze oribatid mites communities in deciduous forests in Namsan and Kwangreung on which different levels of environmental stresses might press, and to select potential condidate of biological indicator species. In overall, pH was lower in soil than in litter layer. Also soil pH, total nitrate content and soluble sulfate content were significantly higher in Namsan than in Kwangreung (p<0.05). The flora in Namsan and Kwangreung deciduous forests were dominated by Quercus mongolica, and Carpinus laxiflora respectively. It indicated that Namsan was in the lower stage of the floral succession. The number of species of oribatid mites was significantly higher in Kwangreung (39 families, 65 genera and 114 species) than in Namsan (32 families, 53 genera and 89 species) (p<0.05). Common species found in two regions were 77 species. Mean density of oribatid mites was 1.8 times higher in Kwangreung than in Namsan and this difference came mainly from litter layer. Among correlation analyses between environmental factors and oribatid mites density and species number, only density was negatively correlated with fresh litter depth in Namsan litter layer (r=-0.89, p<0.05). The pH which was considered to affect distribution of oribatid mites didn't show significant results.

One year study with litter bags(mesh size - 0.4mm, 0.8mm, 1.7mm and 5.0mm) was carried out to investigate the soil invertebrate community in the process of leaf decomposition in Namsan and Kwangreung deciduous forests, which were considered to be under different degrees of environmental selective pressure. Soil animals collected from litter bags were classified into the class of order or higher taxa. Acari and Collembola were major groups: Acari and Collembola were about 60% and 30% of total soil animals in their numbers, respectively. Among minor groups, Dipteria, Araneae, Diplopoda, Coleoptera and Chilopoda were comparatively dominant. In Namsan forest which was considered to be under higher environmental selective pressure than Kwangreung, the densities of Acari and Collembola were somewhat higher than in Kwangreung, although there was no statistically significant difference between two sites. The densities of Chilopoda, Enchytraeidae and Nematoda were much higher in Namsan than in Kwangreung but Diplopoda and Symphyla were much more in Kwangreung. It was expected that those groups could be used as bioindicators. The densities of Acari and Collembola were very low until March and then showed the peak in May. But they decreased slowly until November. There was no significant difference among the mesh sized of litter bags in the densities of Acari and Collembola but other groups of soil invertebrates seemed to be prevented from immigrating into the litter bag of mesh size 0.4mm. Decomposition rate of litter in the litter bag was low in early stage of decomposition. The % residual mass over initial mass at 8 months after litter bag introduction in the field was over 80%. Thereafter, % residual mass decreased more fast and was about 60% at 1 year after bag introduction. There was little evidence for the effects of soil invertebrates upon the litter decomposition in the period of this study. And there was no significant difference between Namsan and Kwangreung or among mesh sizes of litter bags in the decomposition rate.

This research was carried out to investigate soil mictoarthropods fauna in Namsan and Kwangreung which were considered to receive different degreeds of environmental pressures. In basic environmental data, Namsan where under rather accelerated acidification by air contamination and acidic rain showed low pH, tardy decomposition and turnover rate. Population density of soil microarthropods was high in Kwangreung 17,169.8/\ulcorner\ulcorner(coniferous forests), 17,892.6/$\textrm{m}^2$(deciduous forests) than in Namsan, 12,143.8/$\textrm{m}^2$ (coniferous forests), 14,216$\textrm{m}^2$(deciduous forests). Biomass of soil microarthropods was 2,020.219mg/$\textrm{m}^2$ at coniferous forests and 4,270.172mg/$\textrm{m}^2$ at deciduous forests in Namsan, and 3,287.326mg/$\textrm{m}^2$ at coniferous forests and 4326.1mg/$\textrm{m}^2$ at deciduous forests in Kwangreung. Population density constantly showed high in spring, and seasonal fluctuations were correlated with seasonal precipitation. As far as vertical distribution is concerned, population density was concentrated in litter layer as 70% while 30% are in soil layer and also decreased with increasing depth.

주변환경의 오염에 의한 스트레스를 받는 정도가 다른 남산과 광릉의 잣나무림에서 낙엽주머니 (mesh size :남산 1.7mm, 광릉 0.4mm, 1 7mm)방법을 이용하여 낙엽의 분해과정에 관련된 날개응애 군집에 대한 분석을 실시하였다. 각 조사구에서 2년에 걸쳐 총 11회 수거한 낙엽주머니에서 조사된 날개응애 종 수는 30종을 초과하지 않았고, 남산과 광릉의 mesh size 1.7mm에서 조사된 종 수는 광릉이 남산에 비해 유의성있게 높았다(paired t-test, p<0.05), mesh size가 다른 광릉 지역의 낙엽주머니간에는 종수의 차이가 없어 남산,광릉 두지역간의 종수 차이만이 인정되었다. 낙엽주머니내 날개응애 체장 분포 및 체장별 밀도 패턴은 세 조사구에서 중형종(0.3-0.7mm미만)이 다수 출현했고, 밀도가 높은 종은 광릉에서는 체장이 0.2-0.5 mm 사이의 종들이, 남산에서는 이들 조사구들보다 조금 더 큰 종들에서 높은 밀도를 보였다. S renson 지수 및 Cluster analysis를 이용한 조사구 날개응애 군집의 정성적, 정량적 분석은 두 지역의 날개응애 군집이 종 구성에 있어 다른 그룹이라는 것을 제시했다. 낙엽주머니내 날개응애 종들의 출현은 20종 미만의 종들이 5월에서 9월 사이에 출현하였는데, 1년차와 2년차간에 출현 패턴에는 다소 변화가 있었다. 낙엽주머니내 날개응애 유입은 1년차에는 5월부터 다수의 새로운 종들이 이입되었지만, 2년차에는 새로운 종의 유입은 미미한 반면 1년차에 이입했던 종들의 재차 유입이 일어났고, 유입시기도 빨라졌다. 낙엽주머니내 날개응애군집의 종 다양도 분석에는 종 풍부도지수, Shannon 지수, 균등도 지수가 사용되었고, 이들 세 가지 다양도 지수의 값이 모두 광릉이 높고 남산이 낮은(mesh size 1.7mm>광릉 mesh size 0.4 mm>남산 mesh size 1.7 mm) 일관된 경향을 나타냈다. 이는 날개응애 군집의 종 다양성은 광릉지역이 남산지역에 비해 더 높다는 결론을 도출할 수 있는 것이었다. 낙엽주머니내 출현종의 우점종과 출현빈도 분석결과, 각 조사구의 우점종들은 전체 밀도의 70%이상을 차지하고 있어 비중이 매우 높은 것들로 나타났고, 최고 우점종은 mesh size 1.7mm의 남산과 광릉 조사구에서 Tricho-galumna nipponica로 동일했고, 광릉 mesh size 0.4 mm에서는 이 종보다 크기가 작은 Ramusella sengbuschi가 최고 우점종이었다. 그리고 낙엽주머니내에 밀도와 출현빈도가 높아 낙엽분해에 직,간접적으로 크게 관여하는 날개응애 종들로는 Tricogalumna nipponica, Epidamaeus coreanus, Scheloribates latipes, Ceratozetes japonicus, Ramusella sengbuschi, Eohypochthonius crassisetiger, Cultroribula lata 등을 선발할 수 있었다.

One of the most important justifications of conservation of ecosystem and biodiversity is that diversity begets stability. Impact of biodiversity on community and ecosystem function has long been debated in science. Here we report the stability analysis of soil oribatid mite communities from environmentally stressed habitat(Namsan) and relatively well preserved habitat (Kwangreung) with the perspective of consistency as a primary criteria of stability. Stability of oribatid mite communities were evaluated with turnover rate, constancy analysis, b diversity index, and absolute abundance, abundance ranking, and the presence or absence of species over time. Out of 6 criteria, three consented that oribatid community from Kwangreung was more stable than that from Namsan. Those are turnover rate in litter layer, constancy analysis, and absolute abundance. Feasibility of stability analysis using oribatid mites was further discussed, rendering further study.

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.
