Abstract
Complex estimation of the basic ecological indicators of oribatid mite community in areas with three different forms of anthropogenic stress (agricultural, technological and recreational) was conducted. The environmental quality level was assessed by the integral index of oribatid mite communities based on five criteria: average population density, species richness, dominance structure, life form ratio, Shannon’s ecological diversity index. In general, the anthropogenic influence manifested in reducing of the average population richness, species and ecological diversity and simplifying of the domination structure and oribatid life forms structure. The possibility of using of the integral oribatid mites community’s index for the comprehensive assessment of anthropogenic influence on ecosystems was shown. The applying of this indicator for bioindication and biomonitoring was proposed.
