How Deep Do Soil Invertebrates Live?

Laška V., Mikula J., Tuf I. H.

The authors describe a method for studying invertebrate depth distribution in various soils. Deep subterranean traps collected small soil invertebrates in a depth range from 5 to 95 centimetres, at 10 centimetre intervals throughout. The differences in the vertical distribution found are remarkable among various taxonomic groups.
