Abstract:

The studies were conducted on the old zinc metallurgic dump in Katowice (Upper Silesia, Poland). The structure of oribatid mite communities and ecological data of mites at three sites varying in age of substrate and development of vegetation were analysed. In the course of the study 3742 individuals of oribatids, representing 32 species were collected. Colonization of the highly contaminated zinc dump by oribatid mites proceeds slowly. Oribatid communities were characterized by low abundance, low number of species and unstable structure, however the community at the oldest site was better developed. Some of the pioneer species, e.g. Oppiella nova, Tectocepheus velatus, Ceratozetes peritus and Punctoribates punctum have been noted previously as mites which colonize postindustrial wastelands, whereas Ramusella assimilis and Latilamellobates incisellus have been rarely observed in devastated biotopes. A preponderance of eurytopic species, characterized by broad zoogeographical distribution was typical for oribatid communities on the zinc dump.
