The influence of sulphur pollution, with a large amount of SO2 and CS2, on soil mites in young Scots pine forest about 20 year-old, was investigated.

In polluted plots, the density of mites was significantly lower than in the control plot, mainly due to the Oribatida, which predominated and were sensitive to this pollution. In all polluted plots the species number of mites was lower than in the control plot. Some species were sensitive to pollutants, others tolerated then
