Abstract Air and soil temperatures, snow cover, serious snow load damage to coniferous trees, wind, topography and edaphic factors on the fells situated between 67°N and 68°N in Finnish Lapland are described and their influence on the location of the actual timberline and treeline is discussed. In addition the relation between annual climate conditions and pollen deposition in the timberline ecotone is analysed and the results of seedling density monitoring in the same environment are presented. The potential for the actual timberline and treeline to advance to a higher elevation is also discussed. The field studies were carried out on the fells of Aakenustunturi, Yllästunturi and Pyhätunturi. The average altitude of the actual timberline varies from 370 metres to 402 metres a.s.l. The actual timberline is hardly ever composed of a single tree species but featured alternating occurrences of Norway spruce (Picea abies), Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) and mountain birch (Betula pubescens ssp. czerpanovii). The mean tetratherms on the southern and northern slopes (+10.3°C and +10.1°C, respectively), the mean maximum tetratherm on the southern slope (+15.1°C) and the corresponding measures for the treeline (460 m a.s.l), the minimum tetratherm (+6.3°C), mean July temperature (+12.6°C), biotemperature (+3.3°C) and minimum effective temperature sum (455 d.d.), coincide closest with the results of earlier studies. The maximum altitudes of the actual timberline are dictated by many climatic factors on southern and western slopes with a gentle inclination, and the forest cover gradually becomes thinner, in which case the actual timberline does not form any easily distinguishable line. The lowest altitudes of the actual timberline are the results of an extremely high proportion of block fields, slope steepness and snow patches on the northern and eastern slopes. On the precipitous and rocky slopes trees have difficulties in taking root and in obtaining nutrients and water, while as a consequence of snow patches the growing season may be too short for tree growth at all, and if trees exist there they are suffering from low soil temperature and parasitic snow fungi. Serious snow load damage to trees evidently hampers any advance in the actual timberline, as do avalanches and mires. The location of the treeline is the result of a combination of a great number of unfavourable conditions for tree regeneration, seedling establishment and tree growth, such as inadequate snow protection, extreme soil temperatures, almost total destruction of trees by the snow load, wind pressure, an often inadequate effective temperature sum and length of the growing season, night frost in early summer, and poor, dry soil suffering from excessive evaporation. Actual timberline responses to predicted climate warming will differ greatly from site to site in relation to the local topography, edaphic features and associated ecological limitations. Any advance in the treeline to a higher elevation is likely to be slower and at least less certain than that in the actual timberline. In addition, advances in the actual timberline and treeline may even be prevented by phenomena occurring along with climate change. A potential key factor in this is serious snow load damage to the trees.

The purpose of this study was to correlate the Vegetation of the Woodbine Sands with the edaphic factors. In the laboratory an analysis of the edephic factors was made of the twenty-two soil types collected from the three formations. The results of these and other analysis are shown in tables and graphs. The results indicate that the vegetational cover of an area that is uniform in its origin and in its resident soil factors is determined by the edaphic factors present.

Abstract This MSc. thesis deals with karyological, genetic and phenotypic variation of selected taxa from the genus Dianthus L. in the Czech Republic and adjacent countries. The evolutionary history of the genus has been shaped by several microevolutionary processes, including interspecific hybridization, genome duplication, and edaphic speciation. These processes led to the origin of a number of phenotypically similar taxa, which are often restricted to a narrow geographic area. One subendemic and three endemic taxa occur in the Czech Republic. These (sub)species were used as model groups to gain insight into microevolutionary processes in small populations and the postglacial development of the genus in Central Europe. The thesis consists of three parts, each addressing different evolutionary phenomenon: Dianthus arenarius subsp. bohemicus is a critically endangered endemic psammophyte currently known from a single population in Central Bohemia. The site is also inhabited by widespread D. carthusianorum. Interspecific hybridization has been suspected on the basis of morphological characters, but this has never been confirmed by any other technique. I exploited differences in the number of chromosomes between both species and, with the aid of DAPI flow cytometry, estimated relative DNA contents of...

A expansão da agricultura tem levado a utilização intensiva de agrotóxicos para o controle de pragas agrícolas que apresentam sérios riscos de contaminação tanto de ambientes aquáticos como terrestres. A contaminação da biota do solo pode causar efeitos sobre diversos processos ecossistêmicos tendo em vista a importância que estes organismos desempenham na estrutura do solo. O objetivo dessa pesquisa foi avaliar os possíveis efeitos do inseticida/acaricida Kraft 36EC sobre a composição da fauna edáfica total e sobre a composição da comunidade de colêmbolos utilizando os atributos funcionais, em uma escala temporal, durante dois períodos amostrais. De forma geral, ambas as estações apresentaram diferenças na composição da fauna edáfica ao longo do tempo, nos dois tratamentos. Os colêmbolos foram os organismos mais sensíveis ao inseticida. As variáveis ambientais (temperatura e umidade) influenciaram nos efeitos do inseticida/acaricida sobre os organismos, principalmente em situações extremas. Os índices de diversidade [média por atributo (mT) e diversidade funcional (FD)] com as morfoespécies de colêmbolos, demostraram que o inseticida acaricida reduziu a diversidade funcional. Tais resultados estavam relacionados com a dominância de espécies epiedáficas (superficiais), em relação as hemiedáficas (mais afetadas pelo inseticida), principalmente no vigésimo primeiro dia. A atividade alimentar (teste bait lamina) foi reduzida ao longo do período de exposição. Os resultados obtidos mostraram que mesmo em doses recomendadas o inseticida/acaricida afetou a composição da fauna edáfica. Além disso, esse trabalho demonstrou a importância de pesquisas que avaliam não apenas dados taxonômicos como também a estrutura funcional das comunidades edáficas. Nesse sentido, podemos predizer possíveis alterações dos agrotóxicos sobre os processos ecossistêmicos. / The expansion of agriculture has led to the intensive use of pesticides for the control of agricultural pests that present serious risks of contamination in both aquatic and terrestrial environments. Contamination of soil biota by these pollutants can have effects on various ecosystem processes in view of the importance that these organisms play in the soil structure. The objective of this research was to evaluate the possible effects of the acaricide insecticide Kraft 36EC on the composition of the total soil fauna and on the composition of the community of collembolans using the functional traits, over time, during the dry and rainy season. In general, there are differences in the composition of the edaphic fauna over time, in both treatments. The collembolans were the most sensitive to insecticidal organisms. Environmental variables can influence the effects on organisms, especially in extreme situations.The diversity index [average per attribute (mT) and functional diversity (FD)] with morphospecies collembolan, showed that the insecticide reduced functional diversity. These results were related to the dominance of epiedaphic species (surface), in relation to hemiedaphic (more affected by insecticide), especially in the twenty-first day. Feeding activity (test blade bait) was reduced over the exposure period. The results showed that even at recommended doses the insecticide affected the composition of the edaphic fauna. In addition, this work has demonstrated the importance of research that evaluates not only taxonomic data but also the functional structure of edaphic communities. In this way, it is possible to predict possible changes in agrochemicals on ecosystem processes.

A fauna edáfica de ácaros, apesar de abundante e muito diversa em ambientes naturais, ainda é pouco conhecida no Estado de São Paulo. O presente estudo foi realizado em duas partes. A primeira parte teve como objetivo avaliar a abundância e diversidade dos ácaros da superfamília Rhodacaroidea na Mata Atlântica (Pariquera-Açu, Cananéia, Piracicaba e São Pedro) e no Cerrado (Luiz Antonio, Pirassununga e São Carlos), em amostras de solo (0-5 cm) e folhedo tomadas à base de plantas das famílias Arecaceae e Myrtaceae, respectivamente. Para extração dos ácaros, as amostras foram processadas através de um equipamento do tipo Berlese-Tullgren modificado. Obteve-se um total de 969 Rhodacaroidea adultos, sendo 913 na Mata Atlântica e 56 no Cerrado. Foram encontrados 776 e 193 Rhodacaroidea no folhedo e no solo, respectivamente. Os ácaros encontrados pertencem a 15 gêneros diferentes. Os gêneros mais comuns na Mata Atlântica foram Neogamasellevans Loots & Ryke e Ologamasus Berlese, no folhedo, e Rhodacarus Oudemans, no solo. No Cerrado, Rhodacarus foi o gênero mais comum em ambos os substratos. Trinta e uma morfoespécies de Rhodacaroidea foram encontradas na Mata Atlântica, e cinco, no Cerrado. A uniformidade das freqüências de ocorrência de morfoespécies foi maior na Mata Atlântica que no Cerrado. A uniformidade também foi maior no folhedo que no solo da Mata Atlântica. Na segunda parte deste estudo, avaliaram-se a diversidade, a abundância e a distribuição dos ácaros edáficos no folhedo e em diferentes profundidades (0-5, 10-15, 20-25 e 30-35 cm) do solo. Avaliaram-se também os mesmos parâmetros para os fitonematóides presentes no solo às diferentes profundidades mencionadas. As coletas foram realizadas em Pariquera-Açu e Cananéia, na base da palmeira Euterpe edulis Mart. A extração dos ácaros foi realizada como indicado anteriormente. A extração dos fitonematóides foi realizada pelo método de Jenkins. Nesta parte, coletaram-se 2717 ácaros, 80% dos quais, do folhedo. No solo, a maior quantidade de ácaros foi encontrada na camada de 0-5 cm, exceto no outono. A maior abundância de ácaros no solo e no folhedo foi verificada no inverno. As ordens encontradas foram: Oribatida (80%), Mesostigmata (18%), Prostigmata e Astigmata, (juntos 2%). Os Oribatidas não foram identificados em níveis taxonômicos mais baixos no presente estudo. No folhedo, foram identificados 14 famílias, 19 gêneros e 32 morfoespécies de ácaros. No solo, foram encontradas 17 famílias, 19 gêneros e 27 morfoespécies. Neogamasellevans e Ologamasus foram os gêneros mais abundantes e diversos dentre os ácaros identificados. Dezesseis gêneros de fitonematóides foram encontrados. O número total de fitonematóides encontrados em cada profundidade, para todas as plantas amostradas, variou de 10 a 7340 indivíduos. Helicotylenchus Steiner foi o gênero mais abundante, seguido de Discocriconemella Grisse & Loof e Aorolaimus Sher. Os fitonematóides foram abundantes em todas as profundidades consideradas. Considerando-se a predominância dos ácaros na camada mais superior do solo, é de se esperar que os ácaros que por ventura estejam predando aqueles nematóides possam apresentar alguma eficiência apenas na camada mais superficial do solo. O aprofundamento nas pesquisas sobre a fauna de Rhodacaroidea em ambientes naturais gera informações que poderão ser utilizadas em futuros estudos, para o controle biológico de ácaros-praga no solo. / Although abundant and very diverse in the natural environments, the fauna of edaphic mites is still poorly known in the State of São Paulo. The present study was conducted in two parts. The objective of the first part was to evaluate the abundance and diversity of mites of the superfamily Rhodacaroidea in the Mata Atlântica (Pariquera-Açu, Cananéia, Piracicaba and São Pedro) and in the Cerrado (Luiz Antonio, Pirassununga and São Carlos) ecosystems, in soil (0-5 cm) and litter samples taken at the base of plants of the families Arecaceae and Myrtaceae, respectively. For extraction of the mites, the samples were processed through a modified Berlese-Tullgren equipment. A total of 969 adult Rhodacaroidea were obtained, 913 from Mata Atlântica and 56 from Cerrado. In relation to the substrate, 776 Rhodacaroidea were found in the litter and 193 in the soil. Those mites belong to fifteen different genera. The most common genera in Mata Atlântica were Neogamasellevans Loots & Ryke and Ologamasus Berlese, in the litter, and Rhodacarus Oudemans, in the soil. In Cerrado, Rhodacarus was the most common genus in both substrates. Thirty one morphospecies of Rhodacaroidea were found in Mata Atlântica, and five, in Cerrado. The equitability of the frequencies of occurrence of the morphospecies was higher in Mata Atlântica than in Cerrado. It was also higher in the litter than in the soil of Mata Atlântica. In the second part of this study, the diversity, abundance and distribution of edaphic mites in litter and soil samples of different depths (0-5, 10-15, 20-25 and 30-35 cm) were studied. The same parameters were also evaluated for plant nematodes present in soil samples at those different depths. Samples were taken in Pariquera-Açu and Cananéia, at the base of Euterpe edulis Mart (Arecaceae). Mites were extracted as indicated previously. Nematodes were extracted by Jenkins method. A total of 2717 mites was collected, 80% of which in the litter samples. In the soil, the largest number of mites was collected between 0 and 5 cm from the surface, except in the fall. Highest abundance of mites in the litter and soil was observed in the winter. The mite orders found were: Oribatida (80%), Mesostigmata (18%), Prostigamata and Astigamata (combined, 2%). Oribatida were not identified at lower taxonomic levels in this study. In the litter, 14 families, 19 genera and 32 morphospecies of mites were identified. In the soil, 17 families, 19 genera and 27 morphospecies were identified. Neogamasellevans and Ologamasus were the most abundant and diverse genera. Sixteen genera of plant nematodes were identified. The total number of plant nematodes found at each depth, for the combined samples, varied between 10 and 7340. Helicotylenchus Steiner was the most abundant genus, followed by Discocriconella Grisse & Loof and Aorolaimus Sher. Nematodes were abundant at all considered depths. Considering the predominance of the mites between 0 and 5 cm from the soil surface, it is conceived that predation on the former by the predatory mites may have some significance only at that depth. Further research on the fauna of Rhodacaroidea in natural environments generate information that could be used in future studies for the biological control of edaphic pest mites and nematodes.
