Abstract

Taking the Naiman Desertification Research Station under Chinese Academy of Sciences as study area, we conducted an investigation on the soil fauna community structure and soil properties of the sites under or outside of the Caragana microphylla canopy in Horqin Sandy Land. The fauna community structure was analyzed and the responses of soil fauna groups to different habitats were identified. There were 30 families of soil fauna captured in total and the mesofauna dominated the soil fauna community. The numbers of individuals and groups of the soil fauna under the canopy were both significantly bigger than that in the open sandy space. The Shannon diversity index of soil fauna community under the canopy was significantly higher than that in the open sandy space, but the Pielou evenness index and Simpson dominance index of soil fauna community had reversed trends with no significance. The soil fauna community diversity increased from the open sandy space to the area under the cannopy. It suggested that the C. microphylla shrub changed the microhabitat and remarkably facilitated the change of the soil fauna community structure in the shifting sandy land. Differences in soil temperature, alkalinity and organic carbon content might lead to the difference of the soil fauna community structure between the sites under or outside the C. microphylla cannopy in summer. There showed four soil fauna responses models in accodance to the different selection and adaptation patterns of the soil fauna to the different habitats.

Key words: shrub soil fauna community structure response model
