英文摘要Wood ants (Formica rufa group) are widely distributed in the northern hemisphere and have an important effect on ecosystem processes. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the relationship between F. rufa and the soil biological quality and microarthropod diversity in a semi-arid black pine forest. Microarthropod sampling was conducted for 2 years, from October 2014 to September 2016, at four ant nest mounds of similar size. A total of 288 soil cores were sampled bimonthly, near the nests (designated as the adjacent zone) and at a distance of 10m away from the nests (designated as the distant zone) during the study period. The results were evaluated by the mean density, QBS-ar index, and Shannon diversity index scores. The mean density of the microarthropods in the adjacent zone (32,797 ind m(-2)) was lower than the mean density observed in the distant zone (44,462 ind m(-2)). The Shannon diversity index values were insensitive to differences in microarthropod density, as affected by wood ants, between the adjacent and distant zones, but the QBS-ar values were significantly different between the zones. This suggested that the QBS-ar index may be advantageous in monitoring the impact of wood ants on soil microarthropods in a semi-arid pine forest. Overall, this study reveals that F. rufa may have a significant impact on soil microarthropods in semi-arid forest ecosystems.
