Abstract:
The Lumbricidaes investigations were performed in the village of Chetrosu. The galleries that the Lumbricidae makes
in the soil allow his venting and roots breathing the micro-fauna composed of other worms and insects, oxidation
reactions of microorganisms in the soil and by calcium carbonate which eliminates via faeces and helps ensure
microgranulare structure of the soil and in the neutralization pH variations. The factor that determines the productivity
and diversity of soil biota is fertility, the correlation coefficient being 0.82 to 0.99. Thus the number of invertebrates
varies from 110-135 ex/m2
subtypes chernozems north of Republic 42-64 to ex/m2
in the South. The number of the
fungi - corresponding to 53-68 thousand/g of soil up to 15-22 thousand/g of soil. In the regions with very low
temperatures, they are missing because for their activities optimum temperature is between + 6ºC and 14ºC. So they are
where temperatures are moderate, especially in the hilly areas, lowland and plains. Experiences made on terrestris
Lumbricidaes shows that an individual consumes an average of 80 mg dried leaves wet weight per gram and by day,
which returns annually on about 2,000 kg per hectare. In the soil and through galleries, deep I can therefore accumulate
rather high amounts of minerals from 1 hectare during 1 year so it can work at depths over 60 kg of Na, 30 kg of
phosphorus, 5 kg of K, 70 kg of Ca. As a result of long exploitation of soils the quantity and the biota of biomass was
reduced by 2-3 times. Increased share of species of that causes degradation of humus. Their activity has increased to 7.8
to 15.9 mln/g of soil and saprofagoes biomass among invertebrates decreased to 17.2 to 6.1 g/cm2
. And according to
research invertebrate diversity index, decreases to 0.582, and Lumbricidae family composition does not attests only 5
species compared to 9 species by 6 years ago.
