Abstract

The structures of earthworm communities and their distribution in the southern ecosystems of Middle Siberia have been studied at the local (biogenocenotic), topological (facial), and regional landscape levels. Long-term observation data at fixed sites have been used to construct map charts that portray the landscape-ecological patterns for variations in the quantitative characteristics and species compositions of lumbricides, which depend on abiotic factors and the anthropogenic impact.
