Abstract

Taxonomic composition of earthworms was analyzed and their abundance in the tundra belt of Denezhkin Kamen’ Mt. in the Northern Urals was estimated. Four species were revealed: Perelia diplotetratheca (Perel, 1976), Eisenia nordenskioldi (Eisen, 1879), E. atlavinyteae Perel et Graphodatsky, 1984 and Dendrobaena octaedra (Savigny, 1826). It was shown that earthworms dominate in biomass over other groups of soil mesofauna under the mountainous conditions.
