Communities of soil Collembola, Protura and Pauropoda were studied in a riparian forest - mesic forest ecotone in the Stromovka Park in the inundation zone of the Vltava River in České Budějovice, South Bohemia, Czech Republic. Ten soil samples, each 10 cm² and 5 cm deep, were taken on April 3rd, 2000 in each of five parallel rows from the swampy part without water (row I). Row II was 1 m to the east from row I in a dense Pragmites communis uderstory of the Populus canadensis, Quercus robus dominated riparian forest. Row III was 5 m to the east with the same understory composition, and IV was 10 m further to the east with less dense Phragmites understory growth mixed with grasses and Geranium silvaticum and other understory herbs and poplar and oak litter on the soil surface. Row V was 5 m from row IV in a mesic forest with Quercus robur, Betula alba trees and grass with mosses in understory.
