![]() ![]() Usually decomposition was affected by the presence of decomposer fauna. Soil samples were 0,25 m 2 and animals were extracted from samples by hand sorting. The soil invertebrates were collected according to generally accepted method by M. The effect of radioactive contamination on the soil invertebrates and decomposition processes in the different biogeocenoses we intensively studied during 17 years after Chernobyl accident. Since radionuclides can limit biological activity, studies to estimate the tolerance of decomposer community to potentially toxic radiators are needed. They play an important part in the redistribution of radionuclides accumulated in the natural biogeocenoses and accumulation of radionuclides in their bodies depends on their concentration in the habitat. ![]() Their activities are such that they are extremely important in maintaining soil fertility in a variety of ways. Earthworms and millipedes are probably the most important members of the soil biota and major contributors to total zoo-mass. The knowledge about biodiversity and about reasons and laws of dynamics of decomposer invertebrates has exclusively important (rather applied, or theoretical) significance for soil science.
