... The main role of dead wood for soil microarthropods is considered to be provisioning of refuges during unfavourable abiotic conditions (Seastedt et al., 1989;Skubała and Marzec, 2013), as the deadwood community is mainly a subset of the forest floor community, and only a few species are considered specific to dead wood. However, dead wood may provide soil microarthropods, such as Collembola (springtails), with food sources of greater variety than soil, such as decaying xylem and bark of different woody species, associated fungi and bacteria, invertebrate faeces, and algae, mosses and lichens growing on logs (Setälä and Marshall, 1994;Bluhm et al., 2015). If, within a microarthropod taxon, species associated with dead wood show different trophic positions or structures compared to soil-dwelling representatives, the role of dead wood in enhancing biodiversity could be more than simple habitat or shelter provision. ...
