Abstract

Determination of earthworm (Lumbricus terestris) number from the effects of temperature and soil moisture in concrete soil-climatic zones of North East of Ukraine was established. Studies were conducted in soil layers 0–20 cm and 20–40 cm. These layers have determined the soil fertility and agriculture. In the example of two abiotic factors (temperature and soil moisture) complex influence of environmental factors at the species was shown
