Abstract

The potential impact of high densities of ungulate game on Enchytraeidae and other small annelids was studied in grazed and ungrazed plots in the municipal forest of the city of Brno (Czech Republic) from Dec. 2003 to Dec. 2004. In total 10 enchytraeid species and the "polychaete" Hrabeiella periglandulata were found. The community structure differed slightly between the game enclosure and the adjacent forest but strongly between plots of differing vegetation (coniferous vs. mixed stands with conifers and deciduous trees) and thus humus layer. Abundances and vertical distribution did not show any significant differences between plots with similar vegetation inside and outside of the game preserve.

Abstract (in Czech)

Od prosince 2003 do prosince 2004 byl studován možný vliv vyšších hustot spárkaté zvěře na roupice (Enchytraeidae) a další drobné kroužkovce na spásaných a nespásaných plochách městského lesa města Brna (ČR). Celkem bylo nalezeno 10 druhů roupic a "mnohoštětinatec" Hrabeiella periglandulata. Struktura společenstva se mezi oborou a sousedícím lesem lišila jen málo, avšak výrazně mezi plochami s odlišnou vegetací (jehličnaté porosty vs. porosty s jehličnany i listnáči) a tím i humusovou vrstvou. Abundance a vertikální rozmístění se mezi plochami s podobnou vegetací průkazně nelišili.
