Soil nematodes of coniferous forests along gradient of air pollution (Komi Republic)

Data Records

The data in this sampling event resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 52 records.

1 extension data tables also exist. An extension record supplies extra information about a core record. The number of records in each extension data table is illustrated below.

This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.

Geographic Coverage

The study was carried out in the area of JSC "Mondi SLPK", which is the largest pulp and paper industry in the European part of Russia. At the same time "Mondi SLPK" is also a source of industrial emissions into the air basin of various pollutants. It has been operating since 1964, the main pollutants of which are oxides of carbon, nitrogen, sulfur, hydrogen sulfide, and mineral dust (Torlopova and Robakidze, 2012). According to the company's public environmental reports, the total amount of emissions in 1999 was 31, in 2006 - 20, and in 2015 - 10 thousand tons (Robakidze, Torlopova, 2018).

Sampling Methods

Sites of pine and spruce forests were situated at different zones (impact, buffer and background) from the enterprise. Design of sampling was based on the regular arrangement.

Method step description:

1. Soil samples were collected from the organic and mineral soil horizons. In pine forests, eight soil cores (5 × 5 cm, 10 cm depth) were taken at each site. In spruce forests, five soil cores (5 × 5 cm, 10 cm depth) were taken at each site. Nematodes were extracted from 50 g of fresh soil using the modified Baermann method (Ruess, 1995). Extraction lasted for 48 h. Extracted nematodes were killed at 60 °C and then preserved in 4% formaldehyde.
