Assessment of earthworms activity based on eaten biomass from selected catch crops
Annales Universitatis Paedagogicae Cracoviensis Studia Naturae, 2019 The trophic activity of soil mesofauna, especially earthworms (the Lumbricidae family), is a key element in increasing the fertility of agroecosystems. Thee food strategies that earthworms use as part of the trophic networks in soil, and especially their

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.Tree‐related microhabitats (TreMs), such as water‐filled tree holes (WTHs), are important structures for forest biodiversity, providing habitats for many specialized species, which are however impaired by the intensive forest management of the past. Strategies to maintain and promote TreMs in managed forests, e.g.
