    Soil-dwelling microannelid assemblages as a reflection of environmental characteristics

  • Annotation in Czech

    The project objectives are the following: - To check existing datasets on microannelid assemblages from Central Europe (focusing on the Czech and Slovak Republics), validate them and – if recommendable – complement them with additional data on site characteristics and taxonomic composition (based on re-sampling sites, additional soil analyses and examinations of specimens, barcoding of problematic specimens). - To select additional sites in Central Europe (based on geographic and habitat type coverage, datasets available for other soil parameters and organisms) for sampling of microannelids and obtain high quality datasets on the present assemblages that would qualitatively enrich the overall dataset available. - To upload the obtained and validated data to the COST Actions database. - To clarify as many taxonomic issues encountered during this and preceding investigations of enchytraeids in Czechia and Slovakia and summarize the state of knowledge by preparing annotated check-lists of enchytraeids for both countries and papers reporting on resolved taxonomic issues (e.g. amended species descriptions, descriptions of species new to science). - To use existing and newly collected or complemented datasets to get a better understanding of environmental drivers of microannelid assemblages, of potentially important species traits and bioindication potential; including the publishing of the newly gained insights.

  • Project results evaluation

    We assessed microannelid assemblages at 60 central European sites and analysed characteristics of their soils. We checked species identities of ca 700 specimens by molecular barcoding, found new species for science and for individual countries and conducted analyses of effects of ecological factors. Results were presented in a total of 7 conference contributions and a paper in a reputable scientific journal. Manuscripts of futher articles are under preparation.
