Influence of mulching treatment on epigeic spiders in vineyards of the Kaiserstuhl area (SW-Germany)
Keywords:
spider community; vineyards; mulching treatment; diversity-difference
Abstract
The spider fauna found in vineyards treated either by mulching soil tilling was investigated and compared. Mulching treatment results in a spider community that is richer in species and in numbers. Many species found are typical for dry habitats and represent characteristic species of the Kaiserstuhl area.
