Abstract:
Populations of mites and nematodes were monitored on Watershed 10, H. J.Andrews Forest. A minimum of 50 families and 60 genera of mites arepresent, the majority being Cryptostigmata. Population estimates varyfrom 5000-350,000 per square meter. Nine categories of nematodes arepresent, most belonging to the saprozoic, dorylaimoid, aquatic andmononchoid groups. Population estimates vary from 400,000-2,000,000 persquare meter. Preliminary correlations of population vs. moisture(climate) are made.
