Resumogeneral trend of the greatest mite abundance occurring in spring and summer and the lowest in winter. These findings are compared with the results from other studies, and their ecological implications are discussed. This study provides important information on soil mite populations in natural soils and indicates that such natural soil refuges adjacent to cultivated soils can provide baseline data for studies of bioindicators of soil quality. http://zoolstud.sinica.edu.tw/Journals/44.4/505.pdf
