Four laboratory experiments shed light on the annelids' impact on nutrient dynamics in floodwater. Terrestrial-aquatic microcosms were composed of undisturbed soil cores and river water from the field. These microcosms were inoculated with natural densities of earthworms and\/or enchytraeids. A two-year field survey in three floodplain meadows in Northern Germany shows the strong dynamics of annelid populations with alternating hydrological extremes (floods and drought). A literature review compares survival strategies of soil invertebrates in flooded grassland.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nathalie Plum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3832511059\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783832511050\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Logos Verlag Berlin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/31\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 209\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Nathalie Plum","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48450114781439,"sku":"9783832511050","price":61.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1ceb08c5-debd-444b-9c4c-570af2288f91.jpg?v=1777266278","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/worms-and-wetland-water-nathalie-plum-9783832511050","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
