- Title
STUDIES ON THE SOIL FAUNA OF SKALLINGEN.
- Authors
Larsen, Ellinor Bro
- Abstract
The article focuses on soil fauna of Skallingen peninsula. The Skallingen peninsula has been the subject of ecological studies covering many years. It is obvious that ecological succession plays an important role in nature, but normally it takes a long time before one community replace another. Analysis of the succession has mostly been replaced by an analysis of the zonation in a biotope, and knowing how the succession of the plant communities develops one can get an idea of how the animal succession will follow. Three localities of the peninsula were studied in 1939-42. First, the bare beach facing the open North Sea. Secondly, the biotopes along a line from the North Sea crossing a (like and ending near Ho Bugt on the shore of some saltwater ponds. Thirdly biotopes in the salt marsh along a line running from a small creek up to low isolated dunes in the marsh as well as biotopes along a line from Ho Bugt to the meadow. A straight line was drawn through a zonation of biotopes that were easily characterized by physical features.
