Technosols are defined by the World Reference Base as soils subjected to a strong human influence and containing at least 20% of artefacts. The construction of Technosol using recycled waste material is considered an appealing sustainable use of both natural and anthropic resources. Constructed Technosol can attract and host a multitude of soil organisms, forming a reserve of biodiversity. In this study, we assessed the early colonization – in successional stages – of a constructed Technosol supporting grassland vegetation by the microarthropod community, in particular Collembola. To do this, the taxonomic and functional characteristics of microarthropod communities in a newly constructed Technosol in northeast France were studied for a period of four years. Collembola communities also increased in density and taxonomic richness, as well as in functional richness and dispersion. However, hemiedaphic Collembola dominated the community, particularly in the fourth year. Findings at the end of the survey indicated that the Collembola community in the studied Technosol remained very different to that of natural grassland, while it shared some characteristics with arable land. However, the present research clearly showed that waste material recycling to construct a Technosol could be an opportunity to support soil microarthropod biodiversity.

世界参考库将技术溶胶定义为受到人类强烈影响且至少包含20％人工制品的土壤。使用回收的废料建造Technosol被认为是对自然资源和人类资源的可持续利用。人工合成的Technosol可以吸引并容纳多种土壤生物，从而形成生物多样性储备。在这项研究中，我们评估了微型节肢动物群落（尤其是Collembola）对人工草地支撑植物植被的Technosol的早期定植（连续阶段）。为此，对法国东北部新建的Technosol中的节肢动物群落的分类学和功能特性进行了为期四年的研究。Collembola社区的密度和分类学丰富度也有所增加，以及功能丰富性和分散性。然而，偏头的Collembola统治了整个社区，尤其是在第四年。调查结束时的调查结果表明，所研究的Technosol中的Collembola社区与天然草地非常不同，尽管它与耕地具有一些特征。但是，目前的研究清楚地表明，回收利用废料来构建Technosol可能是支持土壤节肢动物生物多样性的机会。
