Vineyard inter-rows are important biodiversity hotspots within agricultural landscapes, especially when they are covered with vegetation. However, little is known on the effects to management intensity on a broad range of surface-dwelling invertebrates and their interaction with vegetation. We assessed the diversity and activity density of ants, beetles, millipedes, mites, spiders, springtails and woodlice using pitfall traps in vineyards with either high management intensity (HI) consisting of frequently tilled inter-rows or low management intensity (LO) with alternating tillage in every second inter-row. The study was performed in the Târnave wine region in Central Romania. We wanted to know whether, (i) vineyard management intensity affects the diversity of plants and invertebrates, and (ii) local habitat characteristics affect species richness of different functional guilds and taxa. Species richness of some invertebrate taxa (Coleoptera, Araneae, Formicidae) did significantly differ between HI and LO vineyards. Only phytophages (some Coleoptera) increased in species richness and activity density with vegetation cover. Vineyard soil properties (organic matter content, pH, P, and K) did not significantly differ between HI and LO vineyards. We conclude that vineyard inter-row management can affect both the conservation of biodiversity and the provision of biodiversity-driven ecosystem services.

罗马尼亚中部葡萄园行间管理对植物和地表无脊椎动物多样性和丰度的影响


葡萄园行间是农业景观中重要的生物多样性热点，特别是当它们被植被覆盖时。然而，人们对管理强度对广泛的地表无脊椎动物的影响及其与植被的相互作用知之甚少。我们使用陷阱陷阱评估了蚂蚁、甲虫、千足虫、螨虫、蜘蛛、跳虫和潮虫的多样性和活动密度，这些葡萄园采用高管理强度（HI）（包括频繁耕作的行间）或低管理强度（LO）（包括交替耕作）。每隔两行间进行一次耕作。这项研究是在罗马尼亚中部的塔尔纳夫葡萄酒产区进行的。我们想知道（i）葡萄园管理强度是否会影响植物和无脊椎动物的多样性，以及（ii）当地栖息地特征是否会影响不同功能行会和类群的物种丰富度。一些无脊椎动物类群（鞘翅目、蜘蛛目、蚁科）的物种丰富度在 HI 和 LO 葡萄园之间确实存在显着差异。只有噬菌体（一些鞘翅目）的物种丰富度和活动密度随着植被覆盖而增加。 HI 和 LO 葡萄园之间的葡萄园土壤特性（有机质含量、pH、P 和 K）没有显着差异。我们的结论是，葡萄园行间管理可以影响生物多样性的保护和生物多样性驱动的生态系统服务的提供。
