| Description | The development of soil fauna assemblages (testate amoebae, nematodes, enchytraeids, earthworms, terrestrial isopods, millipedes, centipedes, collembolans, dipteran larvae) was investigated in a field experiment since autumn 1999 in which plots previously managed as arable land were subjected to four types of treatment intended to restore a species-rich meadow typical for the area. |
