Annotation	Assemblages of terrestrial isopods have been investigated in 13 forest fragments differing in area (within the rage of 0.4 and 245 ha), shape and composition of forest vegetation (thermophilous oak, mesophilous oak-hornbeam, thermophilous oak-hornbeam, acidophilous oak, basiphilous oak, beech oak-hornbeam, moist mixed deciduous forest, plantations of deciduous and coniferous trees), all situated in the Český kras Protected Ladscape Area, Czech Republic. Numbers of sampling sites within a fragment were correlated to the size of the certain forest (from 1 to 7 sites). Altogether 30 sampling sites were investigated. Soil sampling (5 samples per site taken twice a year) and pitfall trapping (5 traps per site with a year continual exposition) undertaken during 2008-2009 yielded 14 terrestrial isopod species in total. Surprisingly, the smallest fragments possessed the highest densities and the highest epigeic activities.
