Abstract
The study discusses the aspects of the seasonal dynamics of soil macrofauna in the forest ecosystems of the Prioksko-Terrasnyi Biosphere Reserve. The diversity of the group composition, total indices of biomass, and number of individuals are shown to grow from spring to autumn, while the dominant groups and structural characteristics remain unchanged. The composition of dominants and eudominants persists despite the abrupt changes in the number of individuals within the complexes.
