Abstract
The results are presented of studies on soil invertebrate communities (nematodes, springtails, and large invertebrates) in shore ecosystems near hydrogen sulfide springs in the valley of the Iska-Shor stream in the Adak reserve and along river valleys at the northern boundary of the taiga zone of the Komi Republic. The taxonomic richness of the studied invertebrate groups does not change between the sampling plots. The total abundance and the abundance of individual trophic groups of springtails and large soil invertebrates decrease in plant communities near the outlet of sulfide waters, but the structure of these groups remains similar between the plots. On the contrary, the structure of nematode complexes differs between the ecosystems of the river valleys and near the hydrogen sulfide springs, where the abundance of mycotrophs increases.
