Vertical distribution of collembola, lumbricidae and elateridae in alluvial soils of floodplain forests

  • Published:
Contemporary Problems of Ecology Aims and scope

Abstract

The species composition, abundance and, vertical distribution of Collembola (53 species), Lumbricidae (6 species), and Elateridae (12 species) are estimated in alluvial soils of the middle taiga floodplain forests. The significance of individual species in the formation of invertebrates communities in different biotopes are demonstrated, species that are adapted to high humidity are revealed. Invertebrates prefer to inhabit higher elements of the floodplain relief. The effects of relative “deepening” of groups of springtails and earthworms are demonstrated in wet soils of inter-ridge depressions.
