Abstract

A qualitative and quantitative assessment of springtail communities in six main forest ecosystems in the piedmont zone of the Sochi Black Sea region is presented . The studies were carried out at 13 sites located in a suburban forest area, without the influence of recreation and pronounced technogenic air pollution. The species composition, the level of dominance and the average abundance of springtails for seven field seasons are determined. Differences in the structure of springtail communities and their evenness depending on the type of forest ecosystem are established. The state of forest ecosystems is assessed by the degree of evenness.
