Different size sample representativeness in population accounting and estimation of horizontal distribution of soil-dwelling Collembola

Spatial structure of soil-dwelling Collembola populations in samples of different sizes (100, 36, 12, and 3 cm²) in the uppermost of the soil of pine wood has been considered. The research has revealed the “effective size” of samples (12 cm²) for an appropriate assessment of number and characteristi...

Zusammenfassung:Spatial structure of soil-dwelling Collembola populations in samples of different sizes (100, 36, 12, and 3 cm²) in the uppermost of the soil of pine wood has been considered. The research has revealed the “effective size” of samples (12 cm²) for an appropriate assessment of number and characteristics of Collembola spatial distribution, as well as necessary quantity of samples for the accounting results to be representative.
