摘要: Abstract Arthropod assemblages (Isopoda Oniscidea, Chilopoda, Coleoptera Carabidae) were studied in three 20-year-old reforestations with native oak species (holm-oak Quercus ilex , Turkey-oak cerris and downy-oak pubescens ) a natural mixed forest ( Q. frainetto Latium (central Italy). The reforested areas had been previously used for agricultural purposes. Samples collected monthly by pitfall traps period of 1 year (March 2009–February 2010). Structural parameters the arthropod assemblage compositions four compared. effects different types influence environmental variables on activity density each analyzed, particular emphasis to species. Contrary centipedes ground beetles, woodlice showed lower values richness, diversity equitability than forest. According Canonical Correspondence Analysis, resulted mainly associated forests characterized high structural heterogeneity (natural reforestation Q . ). In these two centipede is influenced coverage both shrub leaf litter layer, only latter. beetle low an almost total closure canopy throughout year (reforestation However, some are present also Our results suggest that broadleaf belonging local “potential” vegetation can contribute conservation extremely fragmented landscape middle Tyrrhenian area.
