Although there has been a growing interest in the study of soil fauna spatial distribution during the past decade, the identification of the environmental driving factors behind the population patterning are difficult to highlight. Soil physico-chemical heterogeneity is partly responsible for str...


Jiménez Jaén, J.J.Rossi, JP[Spatial dissociation between two endogeic earthworms in the Colombian "Llanos"]Spatial dissociation between two endogeic earthworms in the Colombian "Llanos"

The structure and seasonal changes of earthworm communities were evaluated in a natural savanna and in a improved grass-legume pasture in a Colombian oxisol over a period of 18 months. One plot of 90×90 m was isolated in each of the systems and each month five samples of 1 m2×0.5 m and ten of 20×...


Jiménez Jaén, J.J.Moreno, AlonsoDecaëns, ThibaudLavelle, Patrick M.Fisher, Myles J.Thomas, Richard J.[Earthworm communities in native savannas and man-made pastures of the Eastern Plains of Colombia]Earthworm communities in native savannas and man-made pastures of the Eastern Plains of Colombia

This study was carried out in the Eastern Plains of Colombia and assessed the impact of agricultural intensification on the structure of earthworm communities. Earthworms were hand-sorted in a variety of agroecosystems of increasing intensity, from natural savanna to pastures and annual crops. An...


Decaëns, ThibaudJiménez Jaén, J.J.[Earthworm communities under an agricultural intensification gradient in Colombia]Earthworm communities under an agricultural intensification gradient in Colombia

The effects of Martiodrilus carimaguensis (Oligochaeta, Glossoscolecidae) on soil seed banks was investigated in a Colombian savanna and two introduced pastures. Germination and washing-sieving methods were used to compare seed density, diversity, and germination rates in earthworm casts and the ...


Decaëns, ThibaudMariani, LBetancourt, NJiménez Jaén, J.J.[Earthworm effects on permanent soil seed banks in Colombian grasslands]Earthworm effects on permanent soil seed banks in Colombian grasslands

An ecological classification based on a set of morphological characters may be used to describe earthworm functions in soil. However these relationships have been seldom verified. Gizzards of the earthworm Martiodrilus carimaguensis (Glossoscolecidae) were studied to find out if its anecic morpho...

Jiménez Jaén, J.J.Decaëns, ThibaudThomas, Richard J.Lavelle, Patrick M.[Soil macrofauna: an available but little-known natural resources]Soil macrofauna: an available but little-known natural resources

The effects of different types of land management on the soil macroinvertebrate communities on acid soil savannas of Colombia have been assessed using the Tropical Soil Biology and Fertility Program (TSBF) methodology. Invertebrates were identified among broad taxonomic units, TU (Orders or Famil...

Martiodrilus carimaguensis (Oligochaeta, Glossoscolecidae) is a large, anecic native earthworm species which was found in natural and disturbed savannas in the Oxisols of the Colombian Llanos. The population dynamics of this species were studied in a native savanna, and in a 17-year-old grazed gr...

This was especially due to the presence of a large glossoscolecid anecic species, Martiodrilus carimaguensis Jim\233nez and Moreno, which has been greatly favored by conversion of savanna to pasture. Endogeic species were dominant in the natural savanna whereas the anecic species accounted for th...
