Berbiers, P. | Mertens, J.
The present study summarizes the data on the distribution of 52 species of Collembola in Belgium that were collected from 1972 onwards. At least one of five techniques (pitfall trapping, extraction of litter or soil, swepping of the vegetation with a net, aspiration from tree trunks or the soil surface, collecting individuals with a suction device) was used in each of 34 U.T.M. squares (10X10 km). The authors sampled in dunes, in grasslands, in woods, on shrubs or solitary trees and in ponds or reservoirs. The majority of the captured species belong to the families Sminthuridae (24 species) and Entomobryidae (20 species).
