EFFECT OF AGROFORESTRY MICROCLIMATE OVER SPIDERS AND GROUND

1) MICROCLIMATE
Canopy openness at three period, in the three agroforestry plots
Leaves appeared after the April assessment, and fall later in November.

Significant difference

Significant
difference at mid

CONTROL and
AF++

less shaded plots,
ANOVA +
TukeyHSD tests)
Pardosa hortensis daily abundance in July JULY

Pseudoophonus rufipes daily abundance in July
Similar abundance in

Results

Effects seem to be
less importants
during september.
Activity is similar in
each treatment.
Differences between
treatments are non
significatives (ANOVA)

Pardosa hortensis daily abundance in September
Significant

between AF++
and others at
midday,
between AF++
and control at dusk
and night. 12
Great differences

Pseudoophonus rufipes daily abundance in September
DISCUSSION
Trees buffered temperatures
Agroforestry enhanced wolf spiders global activity at the
warmer period : sun protection ? (Edgar 1969)
P. rufipes daily-activity seems not to be affected, but
abundances are affected in July -> functional effect ?
In September, « disorganized » differences
Discussion
13
CONCLUSION
Agroforestry buffering general climate (Chen et al. 1999)
Impacts on species depending on their respective ecology
Potentially affect predation rate at the day and season scale.
Interest of low dispersion hability fauna for agroforestry
