The age of successional stages was 2, 11, 14, 20, 43 years. The rotifers were extracted from soil samples using modified method of Baermann funnel with combined light and temperature gradients. In total, 17 taxa of soil rotifers were identified throughout the study. Most common species were Adineta vaga, Habrotrocha rosa, Macrotrachela quadricornifera. The important were also Encentrum arvicola, Habrotrocha elegans, Macrotrachela nana. Total densities varied from tens to hundreds thousands individuals per m2 and increased with the increasing age of the plot. Depressions of the surface relief hosted higher numbers of rotifers than elevations, but elevations were more rich in species. The species succession on chronosequence is well demonstrated in the genus Encentrum. Workplace Biology Centre (since 2006) Contact Dana Hypšová, eje@eje.cz, Tel.: 387 775 214 Year of Publishing 2007
