were more abundant in the ecotone zone, which was explained with the change of the
conditions in crops as a result of agrotechnical treatments intensity during the year.
Conclusions. Mite biodiversity is dependent on various habitat parameters that
are changeable through space and time. Once the species appear as a result of
speciation it disperse and establish populations with parameters that result from
specific abiotic and biotic conditions in the place of colonization. Even in the local
stable community the biodiversity changes due to such ecological processes as
succession and short-time seasonal fluctuations of its shaping factors. Apart from
studying the mite communities just to assess the current local biodiversity we can use it
in the future to monitor the level and direction of biodiversity changes to evaluate
reasons and possible effects on the various spatial scale. Most of niches occupied by
the free-living mites are somehow related to the soil systems from which they spread
during evolution to other i.e. plant, animal, aquatic and marine habitats [7]. This
radiation of edaphic mites (called by Krantz and Walter 2009 “evolutionary
revolution”) is reflected in present biodiversity of this group and the importance of the
soil mites understood as regulation of the matter and energy flow within natural
systems is the main ecosystem service offered by this systematic group, irrespective of
the specific niche of e.g. species or genus within the food-web.
