| Description | In 2008, enchytraeids and other annelids of small body size were investigated through limited sampling of soil in four West Carpathian montane beech-fir old growth reserves in the Beskids Protected Landscape Area (NE Czechia): Smrk, Mionší, Razula and Salajka. In total, 19 enchytraeid species were found. At sites of higher soil pH and with partially waterlogged conditions, Rhyacodrilus falciformis (Naididae: Rhyacodrilinae) was also part of the assemblages. Only two species were found at the most acidic site (Smrk), Cognettia sphagnetorum comprising over 90 percent of individuals. At the other sites, 10-11 species were found. |
