Effects of soil temperature and moisture on the feeding activity of soil animals as determined by the bait-lamina test
KB Gongalsky, T Persson, AD Pokarzhevskii - Applied Soil Ecology, 2008 - Elsevier
The aim of the study was to determine the effect of soil temperature and moisture on the
feeding activity of soil fauna. To measure this activity, we conducted two short-term (14 days)
experiments using the bait-lamina method. In experiment 1, the enchytraeid Cognettia
sphagnetorum was added to defaunated mor humus. The experiment included incubations
at four temperatures (− 4, 5, 14, and 24° C) and three moisture regimes (220, 260, and 300%
of dry weight). No feeding activity was detected at− 4° C, but at other temperatures the bait …
