Effects of the endemic earthworm Allolobophora hrabei (Černosvitov, 1935) on soil microbial communities of steppe grasslands
Original language description
Our current knowledge about the effects of earthworms on microbial communities derives from studies on a few peregrine species, and there is a lack of data for most of the uncommmon worms. Therefore, we studied the effects of Allolobophora hrabei (Černosvitov, 1935), a key earthworm species in fragile fragments of steppe ecosystems in central Europe. We found that the burrowing activity of A. hrabei as well as deposition of casts caused significant differences in the community composition of three domains of soil microorganisms icluding bacteria, archaea, and fungi. The richness of bacteria and fungi was significantĺy lower in casts than in the surrounding soil, however, that of archaea showed the opposite trend. Archaea and fungi were lass susceptibleto the burrowing activity than bacteria; earthworms significantly shifted the composition of bacterial communities between the soil and drilosphere. Deposition of casts was the main factor in affecting soil microorganisms. Cast profiles
