research issues Soil microarthropods, especially oribatid mites (Acari: Oribatida) are an important component of soil biodiversity, playing an important role in the biological processes that take place in the soil ecosystem Soil oribatid community structures and their changes according to species diversity, population densities as well as vertical and partial distributions, are related to ecosystem conditions Therefore, an analysis of the oribatid community structures as bioindicators of soil quality, and as a factor that can contribute to the sustainable development of the soil ecosystem is a problem of great scientific and practical significance Due to their vital importance, oribatid community structures have been studied actively throughout the world Studies on Vietnam's oribatid community structures (Acari: Oribatida) are not enough, especially those taking part in the Northwest mountainous region The tea plantation at Moc Chau highland area is a good model for this study purpose Based on the scientific and practical importance, my Ph.D proposed study project is: Oribatid mites (Acari: Oribatida) in the soil ecosystems at the Moc Chau plateau, Son La province Objectives of the study To study species diversity and the change of the Oribatid community structure related to some natural factors and human impact in soil ecosystem at the Moc Chau plateau; and as the scientific basis for sustainable management biodiversity resources and soil ecosystem in Vietnam Research content To study the species diversity and taxonomic structure of the oribatid mite (Acari: Oribatida) community in the soil ecosystem at the Moc Chau plateau, Son La province and compare with some related areas To study community structure of the oribatid mite (Acari: Oribatida) and

reference pages with 41 Vietnamese documents, 115 English documents and 24 other foreign language documents CHAPTER 1: OVERVIEW 1.1 Overview of research on Oribatid mites (Acari: Oribatida) in the world The fauna oribatid of the world currently knows about 11,207 species and subspecies, in more than 1,300 genera and 163 families (Subias, 2020) Europe is the birthplace of this major research with the first studies of Hooke (1665), Koch (1835) up to now, the number of researches works in this continent is still the most In Asia, America, Africa, Australia, the research was studied later, but the number of works also increased rapidly The current trend is to study the oribatid mites in Asia, especially in the tropical regions Research in the Arctic and Antarctica is less than in other parts of the world Research on oribatid mites in island areas is getting more and more attention The main research directions for oribatid mites in the world are fauna research, species diversity investigation is still being increased, besides the publication and description of new species for science and biological characteristics of the oribatid mites Research on morphology - anatomy, biological characteristics - development, reproduction, behavior, paleontology to investigate evolution and phylogeny, use of molecular genetics in taxonomy and evolution, origin and evolutionary tendency, classification, the ecological relationship of the oribatid with the environment, special attention to the role and significance of the bioindicator of they as well as the effects of some groups such as infectious vectors, parasitic helminths The biological geography, recently, the number of species of the oribatid mites recorded by geographical regions in the world decreased in the order: 3.891 Paleárticas > 2.576 Orientales (India Malaysia) > 2.312 Neotropicales > 1.939 Etiopicas> 1.488 Australians > 1.523 Neárticas > 137 Antárticas and Subantárticas (Subias, 2020) 1.2 Study on the oribatida mite (Acari: Oribatida) in Vietnam Until now, the study of the oribatid mites in Vietnam is about 50 years, it divided into three periods: The period (1967-1986) building the first base for research of the oribatid mites general and Microarthropoda particular in Vietnam This period recorded 73 species Next, the period (1987- 2007) formed an in-depth research direction on the ecosystem and fauna research of the soil Arthropoda with two dominant groups are Oribatida and Collembola The research areas have been expanded, conclusion recorded 150 species The period 2008 - now The development of the team of young qualified researchers is strongly increasing, the number of species oribatid recorded is highest in the period with 726 species belonging to 245 genera, 90 families and 41 order families The research of the fauna oribatid Vietnam was conducted from North to South, but the most concentrated research in Northeast region and Red river detail region, Northwest has a small number of studies Recently, the East region and Southwest of Vietnam is studied a lot by foreign scientists The main research direction in Vietnam includes species diversity survey, description and announce new species, the community structure of the oribatid mites related to the change of the environmental conditions, research for the role and significance of the bioindicator, determining the possibility of parasitic organisms carrying vector of the oribatid mites and the characteristics biological geography of the oribatid fauna 1.3 Study on oribatida mite (Acari: Oribatida) in Moc Chau plateau, Son La province The study area is in Moc Chau district, Son La province, in the Northwest region of Vietnam In Son La province, there have been some studies by Vu Quang Manh et al., to evaluate the density and diversity of species composition, animal location characteristics, and the role of the group of the oribatid mites and springtails in the Northwest of Vietnam, in the period 1982, 1984, 1987 - 1996, 2000, 2003 - 2006, in Son La city and some places in Moc Chau district, including mount Pha Luong (1507 m high) in Tan Xuan commune, Xuan Nha nature reserve and Na Hieng village in Xuan Nha commune Up to now, all the research on the oribatid mites has a little in the study area 1.4 Overview of natural and social conditions of the study area 1.4.1

collected at the man-made forest habitat in some places in Chieng Hac, Phieng Luong, Tan Lap, Cho Long, Chieng Son communes The soil samples after being collected were filtered, analyzed, and classified for the oribatid mites at the practice room of the Department of Animals - Department of Biology, Center for Research and Education of Biodiversity (CEBRED) Hanoi National University of Education, some samples of the oribatid mites were analyzed with colleagues at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Sofia 2.2 Research Methods 2.2.1 Soil sample collection Follow the method of Ghilarov & Krivolutsky (1975) Depending on the characteristics of the studied habitat, samples are collected from 3-5 vertical deep layers of the soil ecosystem: (0) The layer of Forest litter samples; (-1) Surface layer in the ground, 0-10cm deep; (-2) The middle soil layer is deep in the ground, > 10-20cm; (-3) Soil layer deep in the ground, >2030cm For the floor (0) collection with surface area (25x25) cm² For soil layers from (-1) (3) will be cut by a metal box of size (5x5x10) cm3, surface area 25cm2 Each location was repeated 5-7 times, a distance of about 3-5m The total number of soil samples collected is 302 samples 2.2.2 Oribatid extraction Modifications of Berlese-Tullgren funnels were used for the extraction of oribatid mites from the obtained materials, as described in detail by Edwards (1991) An extraction lasted days in the laboratory at a normal condition of 27 ˚C -32˚C Extracted oribatid mites were preserved in 70% ethanol Then under a microscope they were sorted and counted adults only Oribatids were mounted in lactic acid on temporary cavity slides, and identified to a species level as possible 2.2.3 Methods of analysis and species identification of Oribatid Identification of species names was performed on microscopy with a room degree of 40100X First, based on morphological characteristics separating the mites into groups of similar shapes Then transfer each oribatid to a concave microscope slide, a small amount of lactic acid that partially covered the depression, and cover the lamination Use your hands to move the lamel to observe the oribatid mites in different positions with different magnifications Oribatid species were identified and classified according to Ghiljarov and Krivoluskij (1975), Balogh and Balogh (1992), Schatz et al (2011), and Subias (2020) 10 2.2.4 Methods of analysis and data processing The structure of species composition, distribution characteristics of the oribatid mites populations were analyzed according to the mathematical-statistical method, using Primer V6.1.6 software and excel tool to calculate ecological indicators including species abundance (d), Peilou index (J '), Simpson's dominance index (1 - λ), Shannon-Weiner index (H'), BrayCurtis similarity coefficient and dominance curve K-dominance CHAPTER 3: RESEARCH RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 3.1 Diversity of the composition of Oribatid mited (Acari:

Symbol: New species for the study area (*), new species for Vietnam (**) 17 This is the first list of species composition of the oribatid mites recorded in the Moc Chau plateau soil ecosystem, Son La province The order of taxa is sorted based on the classification system of Subias (2020) 3.1.2 Taxonomic structure of the oribatid mites in the study area Compared with the data of Vu Quang Manh (2020), in the study area, the rate of superfamily structure (29/41) and family (49/90) is quite high, occupy for 50% higher than the whole country, at general in the family (94/245) and species in the genus (151/726) occupy for a lower percentage than the whole country The taxonomic structure of the oribatid mites in the study area is not very diverse in species composition The largest super-family is Oripodoidea with eight families, most families have only one family (occupy for 72, 41% of the total number of families) The largest family is Oppiidae with the 14 genera having 61.22% of total families having only one genus and the largest genus is Scheloribates has six species with 68.08% of total genera having only one species 3.1.3 Comparing the diversity characteristics of the species composition of the oribatid mites community in the study area with related regions Compare the species composition of the study area in the Northwest with the three regions of the Northeast, the Red River Delta and the North Central Coast Using Bray - Curtis similarity to compare the similarity of species composition between regions * The classification structure between regions, shown in Table 3.3 and Figure 3.4 At the family level, the number of families decreases in order: Red River Delta (ĐBSH) (64 families, accounting for 75,29% of the total number of families) Northeast (ĐB) (61 families, accounting for 71.76%) North West (TB) (60 families, accounting for 70.59%) North Central Coast (BTB) (39 families, accounting for 45.88%) At the general level, the number of general gradually decreased from the ĐBSH (139 varieties, accounting for 64.06% of the total varieties) TB (123 varieties, accounting for 56.68%) ĐB (121 varieties, 55.76%) BTB (68 varieties, accounting for 31.34%) At the species level, the number of species decreases in the following order: ĐBSH (343 species, accounting for 52.29% of total species) ĐB (278 species, accounting for 42.38%) TB (230 species, accounting for 35.06%) BTB (127 species, accounting for 19.36%) * The structure of species composition between regions is presented in Table 3.4 and Figure 3.5: Thus, the data show that the TB region (including the study area) has a low level of similarity in species composition with the ĐBSH, BTB and ĐB, reaching an average of 39.48%, recording 53/656 species common to all four regions, there are 97/230 species found only in the TB region, accounting for 42.17% of the total species of the TB region and 14.79% of the total species of all four regions 3.2 Community structure of the
