Structure, composition and trophic ecology of forest floor predatory mites (Mesostigmata) from the boreal mixedwood forest of northwestern Alberta
DownloadSpring 2013
The forest floor, including the L, F and H horizons is the habitat for numerous soil fauna whose ecological relationships affect various soil processes. The forest floor is closely associated with stand development in boreal forests, creating distinct biochemical and physical characteristics...
