Abstract
Aim. It is known that free-living ciliates quickly react to the slightest changes in environmental conditions. This feature of physiological reactions on the basis of long-term studies made it possible to use some species of free-living ciliates to indicate the degree of organic pollution.
Methods. In the period 2012-2016, with 9 stationary sample points in the Samur-Yalama National Park, with varying degrees of human influence has been collected and processed 870 soil samples. To ciliates study used silver impregnation methods. Analysis of soil ciliates community structure was carried out using conventional environmental options.
Rezults. According to our data it has compiled a list of 83 species of ciliates saprobic indicators. Analysis of the results of the occurrence of species, as well as taking into account their quantitative development at various collection points enabled us to get an idea about the state of forest soils different parts of Samur-Yalama National Park, including areas with high human impact.
Conclusions. The results showed the possibility and prospects of application saprobiological methods in soil zoology and a clear dependence of species indicators of the degree of influence of anthropogenic factors.
