地面节肢动物作为陆地生态系统的重要组成部分,在大型食草动物粪便分解中扮演着重要角色。当前动物粪便中节肢动物群落研究主要集中在粪便类型和微生境的作用,而季节或气候状况对粪便中节肢动物群落影响的研究较少。本研究在内蒙古典型草原区,采用野外人工堆置方法,研究不同季节马粪中节肢动物群落的组成和多样性特征,并分析了节肢动物各类群多度与环境因子的关系。结果表明:(1)春夏秋3个季节马粪的初始含水量不存在显著差异(P>0。05);夏季马粪初始有机质含量显著地低于春季和秋季(P<0。05);马粪初始pH在秋季显著地低于春季和夏季(P<0。05)。(2)在马粪分解第3 d和第360 d,秋季马粪中节肢动物群落多度和类群数显著高于春季(P<0。05);在粪块分解第3 d和第7 d,秋季马粪中粪金龟子群落多度和物种数显著高于夏季(P<0。05);在分解第3d和第7 d,秋季马粪中隐翅虫群落多度和属数显著高于春季和夏季(P<0。05)。研究表明,分解早期粪的有机质含量和含水量对马粪中节肢动物群落组成影响较大,而分解后期节肢动物群落组成主要受土壤温度和湿度的调控。
Seasonal dynamics of arthropod communities during horse dung decomposition in Inner Mongolian grasslands
Aims:Ground-active arthropods play a crucial role in the decomposition of organic material in terrestrial ecosystems,yet little is known about how seasonal variations influence dung arthropod communities.Methods:This study conducted a field experiment in Inner Mongolian grasslands to investigate the composition dynamics of the arthropod communities in horse dung excreted during different seasons and analyze their relationship with environmental factors.Results:We found that:(1)Initial water content did not significantly differ across spring,summer,and autumn,but organic matter content was significantly lower in summer dung compared to spring and autumn,while pH was significantly lower in autumn compared to spring and summer.(2)Abundance and group numbers of dung arthropods were significantly higher in autumn horse dung on day 3 and 360 of the decomposition compared to spring horse dung.Similarly,the abundance and species number of dung beetle communities on day 3 and 7 of the decomposition were significantly higher in autumn dung compared to summer.Abundance and generic numbers of Staphylinidae were also substantially higher in autumn dung on day 3 and 7 of the decomposition compared to spring and summer.Conclusion:Early stage decomposition of horse dung is influenced by organic matter and water content,shaping arthropod community composition.Later stages of decomposition are predominantly regulated by soil temperature and moisture.These findings provide a foundation for further research on the complex interplay between seasonal factors and arthropod dynamics during dung decomposition in Inner Mongolian grasslands.
