Abstract

The changes of soil macrofauna density depending on hydrotermical soil conditions in beech ecosystem in Mavrovo National Park were investigated. The linear models (y=ax+b) and polynomal regresion models (Z=aX+bY+c) of soil macrofauna, as depending variable and soil temperature and soil mosture as indipending varibles were used. More strong positive corelations between variables in upper soil layers (forest floor and 0-5 cm soil depth) despite deeper layers (5-10, 10-20 and 20-30 cm depth) were estimated.
