Using Trait-Based Approaches to Assess the Response of Epedaphic Collembola to Organic Matter Management Practices: A Case Study in a Rubber Plantation in South-Eastern Côte d’Ivoire

Résumé

While studies based on the taxonomic facet of biodiversity have already proven their value in understanding soil functioning, studies focusing on the functional facet based on the traits of organisms are scarce in the Ivorian context. Among soil organisms, springtails play an important role in soil functioning and are a useful bioindicator for assessing the impact of land use change and agricultural practices on soil biodiversity. However, their taxonomy is very poorly known in Côte d'Ivoire. The functional trait approach is therefore a relevant alternative for assessing the response of springtails communities to organic matter management in tree plantations. The aim of this study was to determine how different input of organic matter in the form of logging residues and legumes influence the body size and functional diversity of springtails. Our results showed a high functional richness and body size of springtails in the practice with trunks and large branches (R2L1). Functional traits are useful to assess the effects of agricultural practices on springtails communities.
