What is it about?
Springtails are one of the most numerous representatives of soil mesofauna. It is important to know how they work within soil ecosystem, espcecially after destroying their house with using agricultural machinery or through 90 years cultivate just one plant species.

Why is it important?
What is the difference between Collembola populations on stand with 90 years potato monoculture compared with normal 5 cycles of crop rotation? The presented in this paper results will show you how much.
Perspectives
That will another reason to cultivate chosen crops through just one season or you can use such plants within monoculture for centuries. What is better for environment?See that such detailed studies can give you a response for such question.
