The dominance structure, the same species being dominant, is almost identical. In the alder peat, the most suitable conditions for the development of Collembola communities are created in the area subjected to spontaneous forest succession after drainage, rather than in drained meadows. Collembola community in the forest was characterized by a higher abundance and biomass and a higher index of species diversity than in the meadow, and by a higher species similarity from year to year.}, title={Comparison of Collembola (springtails) communities in meadows and forests on drained peat soils of different origin}, type={Text}, URL={http://rcin.org.pl/miiz/Content/115855/PDF/WA058_91452_P2840-T49_Eko-Pol-A-Nr-4.pdf}, volume={49}, number={4}, journal={Polish Journal of Ecology}, publisher={Polish Academy of Sciences.
