Collembola of forest tundra ecosystems of the Sula (Malozemelskaya tundra) and Bolshaya Rogovaya (Bolshezemelskaya tundra) rivers

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 124 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 Sula River is one of the Timan tributaries of the lower reaches of the Pechora river. The Timan Ridge itself stretches from the Czech Bay of the Arctic Ocean to the head of the Vychegda river in the foothills of the Urals and is a flattened ridge 950 km long with separate low ridges, located in the northeast of the East European Plain. The Bolshaya Rogovaya River originates in the northeastern tip of the Chernyshev Ridge. Its valley is a flat plain with a large number of lakes and absolute elevations of 80–100 m. The depressions and ravines of the runoff are often covered with thickets of tree-like willow and juniper. Shrub moss-lichen tundras develop on drained massivs. Separate massifs of spruce-birch light forests are confined mainly to river valleys. In 2019, the "Bolshaya Rogovaya Reserve" was created here, which performs the functions of preserving floodplain soils (Lapteva et al., 2020).

Sampling Methods

On the territory of the Sula river basin six plots were studied. They are floodplain and mixed grass meadows, birch spruce forest, dwarf shrub lichen, dwarf shrub grass and dwarf birch tundra. On the territory of the Bolshaya Rogovaya river 11 sites were studied. They are: association with Equisétum, herb-grass, grass and tall-grass meadows, Juniper community, willows, different types of birch and spruce forests, which are situated in the floodplain of the river. The other five sites are located in the plain and presented by the next plant communities: sedge association, palsa mires, birch forest, dwarf shrub lichen and dwarf shrub moss lichen tundra.

Method step description:

1. On the territory of the Sula river 10 soil samples of 100 cm2 were taken at each plot at a depth of the organogenic horizon of 4–10 cm. On the territory of the Bolshaya Rogovaya river 3-15 soil samples of 25 cm2 were taken at each site.
