Comparison of the bio-diversity of hexapoda species living on the soil surface in different ecosystems in Balcali (Adana)

This study was carried out in different locations in Adana Province Çukurova University Balcalı Campus between October 2017-September 2018 in order to compare the biodiversity of Hexapoda species that live on different soil in different ecosystems. Field studies were carried out by using the pit trap sampling method in a total of 8 different habitats: five agroecosystems (Vegetable, Citrus, Olive, Pomegranate, Vineyard) where agricultural activities are continuing, two pasturelands where agricultural activities are not carried out today and Afforestation Area with Pinus brutia. According to Shannon-Wiener (H`) and Simpson Diversity (D) index results, the most diverse habitat was found to be Mr1 with values of 2.011 and 0.8244. The habitat with the lowest calculated diversity index values was the AEN sample area, respectively, with 0.7675 and 0.3285. The Simpson values were calculated in the AEN habitat with the highest value of 0.6715 depending on the biodiversity parameter results and in the Mr1 habitat with the lowest value of 0.1756. Shannon and Simpson Evenness interspecies population density values were determined in the AAl habitat with 0.9629 and 0.8909. According to Sörenson Similarity index, agroecosystems were found similar to each other. According to this; among citrus and olive agroecosystems, 0.636; among Citrus and Vineyard ecosystems, 0.632; similarity values were determined. The study showed that the natural areas were effective in regaining insect diversity
