| 英文摘要 | Biological soil crusts are important cover in arid desert landscapes, yet their importance as habitats to secondary producers such as ants is relatively unknown. This study was conducted to determine if the presence and development of biological soil crusts on dune surfaces stabilized by revegetation facilitates ant establishment and survival. We measured topsoil properties and crustal features during different successional stages, which were characterized by cyanobacteria and algae, lichens, and mosses, respectively. The species richness and abundance (nest density) of ants were closely associated with silt content, soil organic matter, nitrogen and soil moisture, as well as topsoil temperature. However, ant nest distribution was largely dependent on the biomass and thickness of crusts and topsoil. These findings provide evidence that the recovery or development of biological soil crusts on dune surfaces in the Tengger Desert could favor and maintain higher ant species diversity. Therefore, the disturbance of crusts would result in a reduction of ant species richness and abundance in desert systems. (c) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. |
