Enchytraeidae (Oligochaeta) of forest ecosystems [in soil]. 1. Density, biomass and production

In four forest ecosystems Cognettia sphagnetorum accounted for 68-98% of the total density and for 71-98% of the total biomass of Enchytraeidae. In general, C. sphagnetorum produced biomass of an energy content ranging from 17.3 to 94.4 kJ m-2. year-1, depending on the season and plant community. Th...
