摘要

Soil erosion is a natural process that drives the formation of lowland terrains in mountainous regions. Its role in ecosystem degradation has been strongly debated, due to the significant effect it has on a range of land types. Soil arthropods have been used as indicators of several disturbance types. However, little is known about arthropods in eroded sites in South Africa. The aim of this study was to identify possible indicators of erosion in the Golden Gate Highlands National Park, South Africa, and to determine differences in soil-dwelling arthropod assemblages found in non-rehabilitated and rehabilitated sites over a 24-month period. A total of 5661 soil arthropods were sampled during the study, with the highest species richness recorded in non-rehabilitated eroded sites. A higher number of unique arthropod species were recorded from the non-rehabilitated sites compared to other site types. Overlaps in assemblage structure between site types differed, dependent on site locality. IndVal results, based on species fidelity and specificity in the given habitats, indicated a single strong indicator, the mite Speleorchestes meyerae Theron and Ryke, 1969, for the non-rehabilitated eroded sites. Linear model analyses of site richness with mineralogy identified the significance of phosphorus (in the form of P2O5) in eroded sites. Given these results, soil mineralogy in conjunction with soil arthropod richness of eroded sites could be used to investigate the effect of erosion and form a basis for future study in soil biodiversity and function.
