INTRODUCTION
For area in southern Slovenia was known forest like a primary biome in Holocene. In this days we can here still find
good retain remainder of this forest. Most of the forest was changed by humans use land for agriculture, mainly
meadows and fields. Same of such agriculture land was abandoned in last few decades and forest regeneration
is occurred. In temperate forest ecosystems represent centipede to 50% of predatory soil macrofauna (Albert,
1979). Changing developmental age and horizontal structure of the forest affect on conditions in the soil
(temperature and humidity) (Grgič and Kos, 2005) and consequently on centipede communities. Different
environmental conditions in the Dinaric beech-fir forest and different life strategies of centipedes allow
coexistence up to 44 centipede species (Jerina et al., 2012).
Our purpose is to determine reconstruction of centipede communities when agricultural land use was
abandoned.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Five sites with different land use were located near village Padovo pri Osilnici in the ˝Upper Kolpa Valley˝,
southern Slovenia. From each study patch (30x20m) were in April taken seven soil sampl units (diameter:
21 cm) using method of quadrat counts. Animals were extracted by modified Tullgren funnels. We also did
the manual searching for animals under stones, etc. We did statistic analysis for method of quadrat counts
(density, Shannon-Wiener index and Rekonnen index) (Krebs, 1989).
RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS
Using two sampling methods 291 centipedes were collected and have been classified in 36 species. Highest
species diversity was 25 species in the beech forest. Species diversity at other sampling sites was much lower.
Species present in most locations were Crytops paris, Geophilus flavus, Strigamia transsilvanica, L. mutabilis, L.
pusillus pusillifrater and Lithobius (S.) carinthiacus, but with different density. Species with the highest density
(182 ind./m2) was Lithobius (M.) aeruginosus found in beech forest. On extensive meadow only one species,
L. mutabils was present. The highest estimated density of centipedes was 388 ind./m2 in the beech forest on
schist claystone and sandstone, followed by thermophilic forest on limestone and dolomite with 239 ind./
m2 and overgrown lawn in the schist calystone and sandstone with 153 ind./m2. The Shannon- Wiener index
(H’) value was between 1.6 and 2.2. The highest similarity determined by Rekonnen number was between the
overgrown meadow and forest meadow (59.6%).
Centipede communities followed the forestation succession, reflected different biotic and abiotic conditions.
Chart of centipede density on a sites with different land use collected with method of soil samples. 1- an extensive meadow, 2 - an overgrown meadow,
3 - a forest meadow, 4 - a beech–fir forest, 5 - a termophilic forest.
