Diversity and ecology of soil flagellates
View through CrossRef
Abstract
About 260 species of heterotrophic and autotrophic flagellates have been recorded from soils world-wide. Published species lists are highly questionable and there is thus an urgent need for improvements in taxonomy in this area. Recent studies indicate that there are autochthonic soil flagellates. Detailed ecological literature on soil flagellates is sparse. Between 0 and 10 individuals per gram of soil have been reported. The biomass of flagellates (0.05 g dry mass m-2) and their annual production (about lg dry mass m-2) are low compared with naked and testate amoebae.
