However, community composition of testate amoebae was mainly affected by land use.

Litter mass loss and litter element concentrations were measured, and different microbial groups including bacteria, fungi and testate amoebae were studied.

Indeed, nutrient additions strongly altered microbial biomass (MB) and community structure as well as the community structure of testate amoebae.

Although testate amoebae are among the better-studied protists, only little quantitative information exists on the morphology, phylogeny and ecology of cercozoan Rhogostomidae.

However, adding of high-quality litter to low-quality litter markedly improved habitat quality, as evaluated by the increase in diversity and density of testate amoebae.

The results suggest that high litter nitrogen and low lignin concentrations are indicators of high litter quality for testate amoebae density and species richness.

The results document that reduced precipitation negatively affects soil microorganisms, but that the response of testate amoebae markedly exceeds that of bacteria and fungi.

For over a century testate amoebae have been a favoured group of interest for protistologists, however there is still an endless amount of unanswered questions.

Overall, the results show that microorganisms and testate amoebae rapidly respond to a reduction in precipitation, with testate amoebae-representatives of higher trophic levels-being more sensitive.

Testate amoebae have been frequently studied by protistologists, but still little information is available on some groups like the Chlamydophryidae.
