Description
In the period 1997-1998, the Flemish Forest Service funded a study (B&G/29/98) that initiated a region-wide soil fauna survey by a consortium of three Universities (RuG, KuL and UA; now University of Ghent, KU Leuven and University of Antwerp) and two Research Institutes (IBW and RBINS; now INBO and RBINS ) . The survey was conducted on 56 well selected forest plots representative for all forest- and soil types in Flanders Region.
The goals of the study were (1) to assess the diversity of soil dwelling organisms (soil fauna) across Flanders’ forests; (2) to look for bioindicators for forest soil quality and (3) to explore if a biological forest soil classification system based on soil fauna composition could be designed. Recognizing the critical role of soil organisms in ecosystem functioning (e.g. nutrient cycling), the study sought to establish a link between soil biodiversity and soil condition. Here we publish the Collembola data sampled in this initial project, as a T0. Over time, other organism groups and soil bioindicators were assessed on the same FSFN plots by various studies. However, 25 years later, all plots are getting resurveyed by the studies ‘FOURCAST’ and ‘Biota4C’ following the same sampling schemes and methodologies as in the initial project. Therefore we wish to publish all initial datasets in order to compare them with the recent findings. All published data can be retrieved using collectionCode ‘FSFN’

Méthodes d'échantillonnage
For the investigation of Collembola, soil (pitfall) traps were utilized. Due to feasibility, low juvenile numbers, and the limited seasonality of Collembola (Ponge, 1993), the study was confined to spring samples. Soil traps selectively capture only those species that are actively moving on the substrate. Collembola were preserved in 70% alcohol. Identification was carried out using a stereomicroscope and a standard microscope with magnifications ranging from 200x to 600x. Specimen identification was done using keys provided by Stach (1955), Gisin (1960), Palissain et al. (1964), and Fjellberg (1980, 1998).
| Etendue de l'étude | Representatives of the class Collembola are among the most common and widespread terrestrial arthropods. Their role in the decomposition process contributes to long-term soil quality (Hopkin, 1997). The binding to the soil ecosystem and their low mobility makes them sensitive to changes in the soil ecosystem. Collembola are increasingly being prioritized as sensitive indicators of environmental changes. Because Collembola occur in very many different habitats (Christiansen & Bellinger, 1995), they are well suited for comparing different ecosystems. |

| Contrôle qualité | Data were collected using a predefined sampling protocol. |
Description des étapes de la méthode:
- Researchers defined the appropriate sampling protocol for the target species.
- Fieldwork was planned and coordinated by the University of Antwerp (previously named RUCA), using the designed sampling protocol.
- Researchers entered the collected data in a digital way (old spreadsheets).
- A custom R script is created to transform the plot data and map the original data to Darwin Core as an event core and occurrence extensio.
- The Darwin Core views are connected to the INBO IPT and documented with metadata.
- The dataset is published and registered with GBIF.
