Outdoor surviving experiment with three green house enchytraeid species (Oligochaeta: Enchytraeidae)

摘要

Some enchytraeid species of tropical, subtropical or Mediterranean origin can appear in artificial environments, e.g. green houses due to the worldwide commercial network. Since the used soil from green houses is often disposed outdoors, a question raised that these exotic enchytraeid species could survive under continental climate conditions. In this experiment two of the resettled green house species survived outdoors the winter frost and the arid summer season in Hungary.
