Abundance and species composition of soil rotifer communities was investigated in two seasons and six sites on dumps in the Sokolov mining area (Czech Republic). Every site was split into three plots, which differed in toxicity for vegetation and chemical composition of spoil material. The ability of soil rotifers to live in environment of spoil materials and the effect of pollution were studied in field conditions. According to results, abundance and species composition did not correspond to chemical environmental characteristics. Species composition of rotifer communities was affected by environmental variables such as vegetation, more likely than direct effect of chemical composition of spoil material.
