Abstract

We examined the microclimate of different grasslands and the relationships between the seasonal changes in the microclimatic conditions and the structural characteristics of orthopteran assemblages in the most typical grassland types of the plain, hilly and submontaneous territories of Central Europe in 2000–2005 years. According to our results: (i) The seasonal changes of humidity were characteristic of the vegetation units; (ii) The microclimate components of grasslands with similar habitat structure could be similar independently from their ecological circumstances; (iii) The microclimatic changes influenced the structure of the orthopteran assemblages.
