Sažetak

Soil is one of the most complex ecosystems on Earth, and its functionality depends on the richness and diversity of the organisms that inhabit it. Among the mites that inhabit the soil, the most represented species belong to the orders Acariformes and Parasitiformes, and the four most important suborders: Prostigmata, Astigmata, Mesostigmata and Oribatida, which have a specific role in the soil. More than 10,300 species of the suborder Oribatida, belonging to 177 different families, make up the most numerous group of arthropods in the soil. Mites of this suborder are one of the most
important decomposers of organic matter in the soil, and their number and variety of species can serve as indicators of soil health. The diversity of mites depends on numerous ecological factors, plant cover and anthropogenic influence. Their resistance to environmental changes varies depending on the species, with some populations being extremely sensitive to disturbances, while others are more or less adaptable. The decline in the abundance and diversity of mites is often associated with the use of pesticides and artificial fertilizers, while sustainable agricultural practices, such as minimal tillage and the application of organic fertilizers, can contribute to the preservation of their populations and soil functionality.
