Contribution of that group of animals to peat mineralization was assessed in relation to other soil saprophages. The studies were carried out in four meadows: one natural and three drained ones. Considerable similarity between communities of enchytracids occurring in the meadows of different peat origin was found. Moreover, it appeared that agrotechnical management accompanying drainage did not reduce species diversity of those communities. Despite little contribution of enchytraeids to mineralization, they play significant role in soil processes of the examined sites as they exist more successfully than earthworms under unfavourable soil conditions.}, type={Text}, title={The influence of drainage on enchytraeids (Enchytraeoidea, Oligochaeta) of fens in the Biebrza ice-marginal valley}, URL={http://rcin.org.pl/Content/87962/PDF/WA058_90428_P2840-T45_Eko-Pol-A-Nr-2.pdf}, volume={45}, number={2}, journal={Ekologia Polska}, publisher={Oficyna Wydawnicza Instytutu Ekologii PAN}, keywords={enchytraeids, community structure, vertical distribution, abundance dynamics, organic matter mineralization}, }
