Abstract
Among pedobionts many calcophil forms are found, nummerous groups of active soil-formers belonging to calcophils, c.f. Diplopoda, Isopoda and Lumbrioidae. However, quantitative studies on the contribution of soil-dwellers to the calcium turnover have been so far insufficient, to say nothing of other alkaline-earth elements, i.e.barium, strontium, radium.
