Short note on enchytraeid occurrence in deep layers of urban soils
Abstract
Most soil organisms require aerobic conditions and access to carbon as a source of energy and building material for their bodies. Therefore, in soils of most terrestrial ecosystems animals are concentrated in the upper 10–15 cm layer and few individuals of few species occur below 50 cm depth.
