IAI-Data-CRN_012_FSouto_MFaun: Collection of microarthropods in a Nothofagus mixed forest.

Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR

The study was conducted in a Nothofagus mixed forest, in the Lanin National Park, near San Martin de los Andes, Argentina.

Description

We identified four types of microsites, or etree triaglesi defined by the canopy intersection of three trees. 1) tree triangles dominated by three N. dombeyi, 2) tree triangles dominated by three N. nervosa trees, 3) tree triangles dominated by three N. obliqua trees, 4) tree triangles consisting of a single N. dombeyi, a single N. nervosa and a single N. obliqua.

We collected soil cores for microarthropod extraction, with a Tullgren-type extractor. Microarthropods were counted and separated into recognizable taxonomic units (RTUs). We classified specimens into different taxa, acari, collembola, and other microarthropods.

The acari and the collembola were determined at family level. The information was collected in January 2003 during a field expedition to San Marin de los Andes, Neuquen Province, Argentina. These data were obtained for project CRN12 (The Role of Biodiversity and Climate in the Functioning of Ecosystems: A Comparative Study or Grasslands, Savannas, and Forests), which has Dr.

Osvaldo E. Sala as PI.
