A comparison of the populations of certain invertebrate groups in four different woodland habitats.

Abstract

The data collected appear to confirm the idea that a greater variety of organisms will be found in more moist habitats with abundant humic material than in drier habitats with sparse humic material. However, the data does not seem to confirm the idea of greater numbers of organisms in the more moist habitats. The small number of samples taken and the rather arbitrary selection of certain taxonomic groups for counting does not justify the formation of any definitive conclusions.
