Abstract:

Enchytraeid communities were studied at 15 sites in different types of forest within the Białowieża Primeval Forest. Thirty-six species were identified. Analysis of species composition similarity revealed the presence of 2 dissimilar groups of communities, associated with broad-leaved forests and coniferous forests respectively. Within each group, the highest similarity was observed between communities from ash-alder carrs and Scots pine forests while communities inhabiting the soil in the bog birch forest and the linden-oak-hornbeam forest were the least similar. The abundance of enchytraeids was not limited by high soil acidity or moisture.
