Spatial distribution of soil mesofauna of mixed coniferous-broad-leafed forest in the conditions of recreational impact (by the example of the recreation center "Pine posad" in the Kostroma region)

The article deals with the process of the formation of soil mesofauna and its spatial placement in forest plantations under the influence of recreational impact. There is established that the recreational load on the mixed coniferous-broad-leafed forest in the form of the recreation center has the effect of increasing the species richness of the mesofauna with a noticeable decrease of its number.
