| description | Litter decomposition and changes in oribatid mite community composition were studied for 2 years in litterbags collected from arboreal organic matter accumulations (canopy suspended soils) and forest floors associated with western redcedar trees on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. We tested the hypotheses that lower rates of mass loss, higher nutrient levels, and different patterns of oribatid mite richness and abundance in decomposing western redcedar litter would be observed in litterbags associated with canopy suspended soils compared to forest floors. Decomposition, measured by mass loss of cedar litter in litterbags, was not significantly different in canopy and forest floor habitats, although reduced in the canopy. Abundance and richness of oribatid mites inhabiting litterbags were significantly greater on the forest floor compared to the canopy suspended soils. Canopy suspended soils had higher levels of total nitrogen, available phosphorus and potassium than the forest floor, but moisture content was significantly lower in the suspended soils. Higher nutrient levels in the canopy system are attributed to differences in coarse woody debris input (but not foliar litter), combined with reduced nutrient uptake by roots and lower mobilisation rates of nutrients by detritivorous and fungivorous microarthropods. Moisture limitation in the canopy system possibly contributed to lower mass loss in litterbags, and lower abundance and richness of oribatid mites in litterbags placed on canopy suspended soils. Patterns of oribatid mite community composition were related to mite communities associated with the underlying substrate (forest floor or canopy suspended soil) which act as source pools for individuals colonising litterbags. Successional and seasonal trends in oribatid mite communities were confounded by moisture limitation at 24 months, particularly within the canopy habitat. |
