- Communities of soil macrofauna in green spaces of an urbanizing city at east China BAO-MING GE ZHEN-XING LI DAI-ZHEN ZHANG HUA-BIN ZHANG ZONG-TANG LIU CHUN-LIN ZHOU BO-PING TANG Biología China diversity soil layer urbanization Yancheng City We evaluated the diversity of soil macrofauna communities inhabiting urban green spaces in Yancheng City, an urbanizing city located east of China. In the end of April 2011, the taxonomic richness, abundance and composition of soil macrofauna communities were assessed and compared among fi ve types of green space (poplar forest, rapeseed farm, grassland in park, lawn and nursery garden) and three depth layers in the soil, with taxonomic resolution attained at the order level. Taxonomic richness (orders) and abundance were signifi cantly different among green spaces. Diversity indices (Margalef’s taxonomic richness R and Shannon-Weaver diversity index H’) were higher in poplar forest, grassland in park and nursery garden than in rapeseed farm and lawn. Taxonomic richness (Chao 2) showed a similar trend. There were signifi cant effects of green space type and soil layer, which showed a signifi cant interaction affecting macrofauna composition. We recommend that urban green spaces can be used for maintaining biodiversity, not only for landscape purposes. 2012 artículo científico 0716-078X https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=369944301008 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3699 Revista Chilena de Historia Natural application/pdf Sociedad de Biología de Chile Revista Chilena de Historia Natural (Chile) Num.2 Vol.85
