Authors: Piret Vacht, Annely Kuu (TTÜ), Liisa Puusepp, Jane Peda (TTÜ), Sander Kutti (TTÜ), Liisa Umbleja, Tiiu Koff.

The presentation gives an overview of the soils and soil biological communities of Tallinn, Tartu and Pärnu airfields, differentiating between the runway sides and de-icing fields. Also, the shared communities of these airfields are characterized and the combined species data is used to separate the study sites by their location and usage.
