Methods

The data used are from an eleven year study of the Collembola in Three Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) forests of different age (Young 30-40 years old, Middle 50-70 years old and Old 150-200 years old), which are part of the national Long-tern Ecological Research (LTER) network of Latvia. A spatially explicit sampling design was used at three sites. Once a year, for eleven consecutive years (19922002), a sampling grid comprising 5 parallel 40 m long transects (10 m apart) was laid out at each site and 20 evenly spaced samples (2.5 cm diameter by 10 cm depth) taken along each transect to give a total of 100 samples per date per site.
