  • Impact of Afforestation on Earthworm Populations in Iceland
    ICEL. AGRIC. SCI. 26 (2013), 21-36 Impact of afforestation on earthworm populations in Iceland Bjarni D. SigurDSSon and Bjarni E. guDlEifSSon Agricultural University of Iceland, Hvanneyri, IS-311 Borgarnes, Iceland. e-mail: [email protected] (corresponding author), [email protected] ABSTRACT Earthworms were collected from different vegetation types in East and West Iceland. The vegetation types in East Iceland were Siberian larch (Larix sibirica) forests, native mountain birch (Betula pubescens) wood- lands and open heathlands. The study areas in West Iceland were Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis), lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) forests, mountain birch woodlands and open heathlands. Four earthworm species (Dendrobaena octaedra, Dendrodrilus rubidus, Aporrectodea caliginosa, Lumbricus rubellus) were identi- fied at both study areas and two additional ones in the West Iceland (Aporrectodea rosea and Octolasion cyaneum). No significant differences were detected in average earthworm species number and biomass between treeless heathlands and forests in East or West Iceland. There were, however, significant differences between the native deciduous forests and the coniferous plantations in West, but not East Iceland. Time since afforestation was found to have a significant effect on both earthworm diversity and density and should always be included in future studies. All earthworm parameters were positively related to soil N and amount of monocots, but negatively related to soil C/N ratio, tree LAI and tree height. Soil pH had no significant influence on any of the earthworm parameters. The most noteworthy finding was that earthworms were generally found in similar biomass and species richness in the exotic coniferous plantations in Iceland compared to the treeless heathlands, even if earthworm species composition showed strong changes.

CELIS2 1 Facultad de Ciencias Ambientales, Universidad Tecnológica de Pereira, A.A. 097, Pereira, Colombia; E-mail: [email protected] 2 Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Sede Bogotá Abstract Three new and four known species of earthworms (Oligochaeta: Glossoscolecidae) from the department of Caquetá in Colombia’s Amazon region were studied. Species belong to the following three families: Glossoscolecidae: Andiodrilus nonuya sp. nov., Andiorrhinus (Turedrilus) yukuna sp. nov., Pontoscolex (Pontoscolex) bora sp. nov., and Pontoscolex corethrurus (Müller, 1857); Acanthodrilidae: Dichogaster (Diplothecodrilus) affinis (Michaelsen, 1890), Dichogaster (Diplothecodrilus) bolaui (Michaelsen, 1891), and Dichogaster (Diplothecodrilus) saliens (Beddard, 1893); and Ocnerodrilidae: Ocnerodrilus occidentalis Eisen, 1878. With these new records, the earthworm fauna of Colombia now contains 139 species.

This species was first described by German naturalist Fritz Müller in 1857 from Santa Catarina state of Brazil. It is commonly found in gardens, cropland and fallow lands. It tolerates wide range of climatic and edaphic factors due to its endogeic ecological category. P. corethrurus has high efficiency for organic matter assimilation and has ability to live in new habitat due to which it can survive even in very poor soil. The life cycle of this species is well documented and this species has economic importance due to its use in waste management. 1. Introduction There are total 505 earthworm’s species present in India; out of which 51 are exotic species [1, 2].

ABSTRACT. A reevaluation of South American oligochaetes produced 871 known species. Megadrile earthworms have rates of endemism around 90% in South America, while Enchytraeidae have less than 75% endemism, and aquatic oligochaetes have less than 40% endemic taxa in South America. Glossoscolecid species number 429 species in South America alone, a full two-thirds of the known megadrile earthworms. More than half of the South American taxa of Oligochaeta (424) occur in Brazil, being followed by Argentina (208 taxa), Ecuador (163 taxa), and Colombia (142 taxa).

Keywords: On average, individuals of isolated-reared A. trapezoides reached maturity at day 153 and body weight Earthworm at maturity was approximately 1 g. In order to record reproductive traits and differences between field- Life cycle collected and laboratory-reared individuals, 40 microcosms with an isolated earthworm (20 with field- Parthenogenesis collected individuals and 20 with laboratory-reared ones) and 40 containing groups of three (20 with Aporrectodea trapezoides each type of individual) were maintained during a complete year under controlled conditions.
