Forests exhibit lower inter-seasonal climatic variation compared to open landscape types. Because fauna activity is influenced by a site's microclimate, we expect these more stable conditions translate into smaller intra-annual variation in activity patterns of soil fauna in forests. We assessed differences in activity of terrestrial isopods across more open (open landscape and anthropogenic habitat) and closed (forest) habitat based on recent field observations in Belgium. We related the species detectability chance (as a proxy for activity) to monthly average temperatures to establish linear relationships. The slopes of these relationships are combined in a meta-analytical model to investigate how species' responses relate to habitat type. We found that terrestrial isopod activity was more tempered in forests than in open landscape habitats, suggesting that climate stability in forests leads to more stable levels of terrestrial isopod activity. We also found that activity patterns in anthropogenic habitat are tempered compared to open landscape habitat but highly variable and more research is needed to unravel underlying mechanisms.

与开阔的景观类型相比，森林表现出较低的季节间气候变化。由于动物群活动受场地小气候的影响，我们预计这些更稳定的条件会转化为森林中土壤动物群活动模式的较小年内变化。我们根据比利时最近的实地观察评估了更开放（开放景观和人为栖息地）和封闭（森林）栖息地的陆地等足类动物活动的差异。我们将物种可探测性机会（作为活动的代表）与月平均温度相关联，以建立线性关系。这些关系的斜率结合在一个元分析模型中，以研究物种的反应如何与栖息地类型相关。我们发现，与开阔的景观栖息地相比，森林中的陆地等足动物活动更加缓和，这表明森林中的气候稳定性导致陆地等足动物活动的水平更加稳定。我们还发现，与开放的景观栖息地相比，人为栖息地的活动模式有所缓和，但变化很大，需要更多的研究来解开潜在的机制。
