Effect of mole (Talpaеuropаеa) digging activity on soil microflora in case of soil cadmium pollution

Abstract

Influence of fossorial activity of European mole Talpa еuropаеа on number and distribution of soil microorganisms under conditions of cadmium pollution of the soil is characterized. Mammals’ fossorial activity is an important natural ecological factor that contributes to microflora rehabilitation and development under conditions of contamination.
