In 2012, population density of critically endangered wolf spider Pardosa wagleri was checked and a succession along transect of the quarry of {\v C}ertovy schody \– West was investigated. Population of P. wagleri is relatively rich and occurs along the whole western margin of the bottom of the quarry. The spiders inhabit namely moist cavities under stones. Investigation of succession along a transect leading from the bottom to the surrounding of the quarry revealed importance of sparse vegetation on number of spider species. In the quarry itself, sparse vegetation enabled surviving more spider species; however, pine monoculture in the surrounding of the quarry decreased number of spider species. Therefore, natural succession has to be preferred to technical reclamation. This approach will result in development of mosaic landscape with sparse vegetation. Technical reclamation (namely planting coniferous monocultures) is disadvantageous due to its high costs and because it decreases biodiversity.

In the year 2014, succession of plants, spiders and other invertebrates was studied in the middle and on the border of the quarry as well as on the rocks. Sites with dense and sparse vegetation cover were examined in the first two biotopes. In total, 77 plant, 102 spider, seven diplopod, three isopod, two harvestman and two pseudoscorpion species were found. Among the spider species, 20 of them were newly discovered in the quarry and 21 of them were of significant ecological importance. This number confirms that limestone quarries are important as a refuge for rare species whose habitats are disappearing from our country. The most important finding, beside that of Pardosa wagleri, is Pseudomaro aenigmaticus. In the case of the latter species, it is the third record in the Czech Republic.

In 2013, population density of critically endangered wolf spider Pardosa wagleri was charted and two localities at the northern parts of the quarry of {\v C}ertovy schody \– West was investigated. Population of P. wagleri is relatively rich and occurs along the whole western, north-western and south-western margin of the bottom of the quarry. The spiders inhabit namely moist cavities under stones. A humid depression hosts an indifferent arachnofauna. Thus, a small lake planned at this place will not negatively affect the spider population. In addition, biodiversity will be enriched by hygrophilous species. Despite rare and endangered species are currently present, technical reclamation is wasting of natural potential because these rare and endangered species have no chance to survive. Therefore, natural succession has to be preferred to technical reclamation. This approach will result in development of mosaic landscape with sparse vegetation. Technical reclamation (namely planting coniferous monocultures) is disadvantageous due to its high costs and because it decreases biodiversity.

The research on terrestrial arthropods in 2016 aimed to compare situation on the same localities after several years. At first, influence of an artificial pond was studied. Its creation seems to have a positive impact on invertebrates. The second explored locality was a steppe endangered by growing vegetation. Overgrown grass and bushes caused disappearing of species inhabiting open habitats. Further, shade-inhabiting species appeared (see Tab. 2). The last goal was a monitoring of a critically endangered wolf spider Pardosa wagleri. Its population is stabilised and not endangered unless current environmental conditions in the quarry change.
In the year 2016, 74 spider species were found (15 of them were ecologically important). Among other arthropods, five millipede, four centipede, two isopod, one mite, one tick, one harvestman and one pseudoscorpion species were recorded.

The research on arthropods focused on two aims in 2015: 1) To compare ecological importance of two types of localities occurring in the limestone quarry \“{\v C}ertovy schody \– West\”, and 2) to monitor the arthropods at the bottom and southern wall of the quarry. The localities that are situated near the natural habitats surrounding the quarry, host 3\× more spider species than those situated closer to the centre of the quarry. This fact is necessary to consider when preparing management of the localities. A population of a critically endangered lycosid Pardosa wagleri still live at the bottom of the quarry despite ongoing mining. In 2015, 76 spider species were found in the quarry (of these, 14 ecologically important). Among other arthropods, six diplopod, five isopod, three acarid, one opilionid and one pseudoscorpionid species were found.

The research on terrestrial arthropods in 2017 was similar to that in 2015. Two localities were surveyed. The first was bordering on the surrounding of the quarry; the other was in the middle of the quarry. As in the previous study, it was confirmed that a higher number of species (70) was recorded on the former locality than on the latter (50 species). The ration of ecologically significant species between the two types of localities was even higher: 14 species of spiders (+ two millipede and one centipede species) and three (!) spider species, respectively. It is therefore obvious that the localities in the quarry are not identical. Thus, each locality has to be dealt with individually, based on its position and ecological capacity. Technical reclamations should not be done at the species-rich places located at the margin of the quarry.

The {\v C}ertovy schody Limestone Quarry \– West: Fauna of reclamated areas of the quarry, monitoring study of the 22nd year (2019)

Abstract: Terrestrial athropods were surveyed in 2019 at one of the oldest levels, situated at the northwestern corner of the quarry. Despite the pitfall trapping failed (due to wild boars), the following number of species were documented: spiders \– 42, millipedes \– 5, mites \& ticks \– 4, woodlice \– 2, harvestmen \– 1, pseudoscorpions \– 1, centipedes \– 1. Five spider species were found to be ecologically significant; however, if samples from the pitfall trap had been available, their number would have been surely even higher. Spiders Callilepis schuszteri and Zelotes erebeus, harvestman Leiobunum rotundum and a millipede of the genus Melogona were recorded for the first time in the quarry.
