Limnozetes ciliatus is one of the most common and abundant oribatid species found in peatlands. Like all Limnozetes species it is aquatic, it reproduces and lives in water or at its margin and occurs only in acidic water. It is found in submerged peatland microhabitats, like hollows, pools, and ponds. It indicates good water conditions in the peatland; if the peatland gets dried out, this species disappears quickly.
