Abstract

Communities of oribatids that inhabit the soils of urban ecosystems that have various degree of pollution with heavy metals and arsenic, recreational loads, and surface transformation were studied. The suppressing effect of the anthropogenic pressures on the communities of oribatids was investigated. The effect of the recreational load, the increase in the density of soil composition and elimination of the sod horizon, as well as the formation of urbanozems on oribatids are comparable to the effects of pollution. Among oribatids, species that indicate a disturbed states of communities and the purity of ecosystems were found.
