Abstract
In this paper we focus on some edaphic macroinvertebrates, Oniscidea, Diplopoda, Chilopoda and Symphyla, and their activity-density in relation with a short-term sampling protocol and a series of environmental factors. Our case study targeted the invertebrate community from Ivăneţu Massif near the Rupestral Assembly of Bozioru Mountains and tested the performance of direct sampling using tweezers, sifting leaf-litter with the Winkler sieve, extracting soil samples and using pitfall traps. In order to achieve a more realistic understanding of oniscidean and myriapod diversity patterns we recommend a combination of the abovementioned sampling methods.
