Vineyard inter-rows are important biodiversity hotspots within agricultural landscapes, especially when they are covered with vegetation. However, little is known on the effects to management intensity on a broad range of surface-dwelling invertebrates and their interaction with vegetation. We assessed the diversity and activity density of ants, beetles, millipedes, mites, spiders, springtails and woodlice using pitfall traps in vineyards with either high management intensity (HI) consisting of frequently tilled inter-rows or low management intensity (LO) with alternating tillage in every second inter-row. The study was performed in the Târnave wine region in Central Romania. We wanted to know whether, (i) vineyard management intensity affects the diversity of plants and invertebrates, and (ii) local habitat characteristics affect species richness of different functional guilds and taxa. Species richness of some invertebrate taxa (Coleoptera, Araneae, Formicidae) did significantly differ between HI and LO vineyards. Only phytophages (some Coleoptera) increased in species richness and activity density with vegetation cover. Vineyard soil properties (organic matter content, pH, P, and K) did not significantly differ between HI and LO vineyards. We conclude that vineyard inter-row management can affect both the conservation of biodiversity and the provision of biodiversity-driven ecosystem services.
葡萄园的行间区域是农业景观中重要的生物多样性热点地区，尤其是当它们被植被覆盖时。然而，对于管理强度对广泛的地表无脊椎动物的影响以及它们与植被的相互作用，我们知之甚少。我们在罗马尼亚中部的塔尔纳韦葡萄酒产区，使用陷阱诱捕法评估了高管理强度（HI，行间频繁耕作）或低管理强度（LO，每隔一行交替耕作）的葡萄园中的蚂蚁、甲虫、千足虫、螨虫、蜘蛛、跳虫和鼠妇的多样性和活动密度。我们想了解：（i）葡萄园管理强度是否会影响植物和无脊椎动物的多样性；（ii）当地生境特征是否会影响不同功能类群和分类单元的物种丰富度。一些无脊椎动物分类单元（鞘翅目、蜘蛛目、蚁科）的物种丰富度在HI和LO葡萄园之间存在显著差异。只有植食性动物（一些鞘翅目）的物种丰富度和活动密度随着植被覆盖度的增加而增加。HI和LO葡萄园之间的葡萄园土壤性质（有机质含量、pH值、磷和钾）没有显著差异。我们得出结论，葡萄园行间管理既可以影响生物多样性的保护，也可以影响由生物多样性驱动的生态系统服务的提供。
