Trophic activity assessment of micro-arthropods in forest cultures with the help of bait-lamina test

The article is devoted to the use of bait-lamina test in studies of soil micro-arthropods trophic activity in the 40-year-old forest cultures of the main Siberian forest-forming species: cedar (Pinus sibirica), spruce (Picea abovata), larch (Larix sibirica), pine (Pinus silvestris), birch (Betula fruticosa), and aspen (Populus tremula). The edificatory role of coniferous and deciduous cultures in shaping the structure and trophic activity of micro-arthropods reveals through the influence of underlayers on these parameters.
