Summary/Abstract: Influence of motor transport on microfauna in Dnipropetrovsk city is studied. It is established that mites groupments of roadside lawns in Dnipropetrovsk are characterised by the impoverished species richness of soil invertebrates, low number and relatively low resistance in relation to natural ecosystems. Dominant species are typical eurybionts Zygoribatula concina Iord., 1990 and Tectocepheus velatus Mich., 1880.
