AbstractThe historical influence of landscape on the quantitative variables and a special group of hyporheos in streams with similar origin but different catchment landscapes and forest management was studied. The study was conducted in two streams: (i) a preserved forested natural stream where critical ecosystem processes were unaltered by human activities and (ii) a stream with the strong anthropogenic stressors (e.g., logging, agriculture, pasture), impacting the system for the last 500 years. Some parameters were strongly related to these land use: conductivity, fine benthic organic matter (FBOM), orthophosphate (P_PO4) and periphyton content all increased along the gradient from the natural stream to the urban-dominated catchment. The density of interstitial assemblages corresponded with the conductivity (at P < 0.05) and was higher on the stream in urban-dominated catchments; and the Harpacticoida taxa richness, dominated by the family Canthocamptidae, was also greater here. The Multiple Regression Analysis shows that the rate of deforestation had had the most significant effect on the density of hyporheos. Among of crustacean fauna the representatives of epigean harpacticoids from (of) family Canthocamptidae, dominated.

Structure And Functions

Soil consists of very complex, inter-related community of microorganisms which interact with one another and with plants and animals, forming a complex web of biological activity. The microbes determine health and potential of soil to perform a multitude of ecosystem processes, which depend on the community composition and functioning. The microbial community structure and functions in soil are influenced by physico-chemical properties of soils. Abiotic controls like surrounding climate, environment, land use, nutrients, pH and rhizosphere control the composition of microbes in soil, which in turn modify soil properties. In this review, we investigate the existing body of research exploring studies which have explored how microbes are shaped by soil properties.
