Description of this dataset

Arthropod coenoses from margin biotops, border on dry grasslands and agricultural areas were investigated with pitfall traps in 1987 and 1988. Besides in 1988 the investigations takes with the use of barriers and pitfall traps on the direct borderline from margin biotops to agricultural areas. Collembola were the most abundant group in the matenal, followed by Coleoptera, Formicidae, Araneae and Diptera. Five taxa gets aseparate investigation: Opiliones (10 species), Collembola (42 species), Formicidae (25 species), Curculionidae (78 species) and especially the Carabidae, because they were fine pedobiological indicators (122 species). The greatest numbers of species and individuals can found in margin biotops and in the fields. The function and importance of the margin biotops for the investigated arthropod coenoses, for example as Winter habitats, and their role for dispersal processes were discussed. Dry grasslands and margin habitats gets high importance for red-book-species. For Collembola, Curculionidae and Carabidae characteristic groups were nominated for the investigated biotops under the particular locality conditions. It will be shown directions for the following management of the investigated areas.
