Seasonal and altitudinal variations of soil arthropods in Abies nordmanniana subsp. bornmulleriana forests

Seasonal and altitudinal variations in the abundance and diversity of soil arthropods were investigated in a pure Abies nordmanniana subsp. bornmulleriana (Uludag fir) forest ecosystem. Sample plots were set at three different altitudes (1,200 m, 1,400 m and 1,550 m), and samplings were performed in...

Sample plots were set at three different altitudes (1,200 m, 1,400 m and 1,550 m), and samplings were performed in four seasons in February, May, August and November in 2010.

Litter C/N, potassium and magnesium concentrations were different among the seasons although litter pH, carbon, phosphorus and calcium concentrations did not show significant differences. Soil pH, phosphorus, calcium and magnesium concentrations mainly showed a decreasing trend with altitude; however, soil nitrogen and carbon concentrations had a significantly increasing trend.
