Outline of Annual Research Achievements

As a result of technical modifications done in Hungary, installation of the system including the soil microarthropod probes and the loggers & controllers was successful and after the initial, set-up time period data recording will follow. Data recording includes two main tasks: 1. Downloading data on the number of microarthropods and their body sizes from the data loggers & controllers and 2. Collecting soil animals with traditional methods so that data on abundance and body size of microarthropods can be compared later between EDAPHOLOG and manual methods, and eventually calibration of data from EDAPHOLOG to local conditions becomes practicable.
In addition I brought and added a further system unit to the research, which means that I am able to include another experimental site in the research. Certainly, this work required further technical, repair work and visit to Hungary.
In the following months I collected data on the study site(s) regularly by manual methods and by the means of EDAPHOLOG. Then data analysis and microscopic classification of soil microarthropods followed. It is a very time consuming, laborious work, so this phase may go beyond the period of my fellowship program.
