BIOLOGICAL INDICATORS FOR DETERMINATION OF SOIL DEGRADATION AND REHABILITATION MEASURES OF FORMER MINING SITES. CALIMANI MOUNTAINS - ROMANIA
Abstract
The soil represents a triphasial poly-disperse system that can provide thriving conditions for various groups of invertebrates: aquatic organisms (protozoa, certain nematodes, rotifers) evolving in soil’s pores water f ilm, aerobic organisms (microarthropods) living in well aerated interstitial spaces with water saturation and m acrofauna (insects, larvae and lumbricidae), all generating a strong impact upon soil’s phases. The last two categories develop the greatest impact, thus their evaluation becomes of great support for soil diagnoses. Consequen tly, qualitative and quantitative assessments of edaphic microarthropods provide proper understanding of soil’s conservation state. The present study refers to the understandi ng of ecosystem’s disequilibrium generated by sulphur open-pit mining in the Massif of C ălimani relying on edaphic meso-fauna as biological indicators.
