(Georgia)

Mites, as the constant elements of soil fauna, react actively on negative changes of the environment. The researches provided in polluted and natural ecosystems of central districts of Georgia, showed that together with the level of pollution, species composition, their quantity, distribution of separate species in soil layers and demographic indexes of acaroid (Acaroidea) and oribatid (Oribatida) mites change gradually. In natural ecosystems there is high diversity of soil inhabiting mites with predomination of forest species, but in polluted districts predominate ubiquistous species, that are less sensitive to environment disturbances and can survive the extreme conditions. For some species the meaning of rodent lairs was established. It is considered that rodent lairs serve as “shelter” for acaroid mites to escape from unfavourable soil conditions.
