Soil samples were collected monthly from a forest in the sub-Himalayan alluvial plains. The influence of four major edaphic factors on the abundance fluctuation of microarthropod assemblages were investigated. Soil temperature and organic carbon exhibited significant (p < 0.05) negative and positive correlations respectively with the abundance while the soil moisture and pH appeared of less importance. Four edaphic factors collectively can explain from 37.1 to 53.7% abundance fluctuation as the multiple regression analyses indicated. Result of stepwise regression substantiated the observations made in correlation analysis. Relatively high temperature in the region appeared to be the reason for significant negative correlation, fluctuations of organic carbon were parallel to the monthly waves of abundances, sufficient soil moisture and narrow range of variation of pH appeared to account for their relatively inconspicuous impact. |
