摘要

Dear Editor, Deep burrowing and soil surface feeding earthworms, so-called strict-anecic and epi-anecic species (Hoeffner et al., 2019), are a highly influential soil faunal group in many natural and manmade environments.Typically, they are relatively large and contribute substantially to the formation and processes of mull-type soils through effective foraging and incorporation of plant litter (Edwards and Bohlen, 1996).The wide, vertical, and deep burrows of anecic earthworms produce a unique influence on soil physical properties (Lamparski, 1985;Shipitalo and Butt, 1999;Nuutinen et al., 2001).Lumbricus badensis (Michaelsen 1907) is an intriguing example of this type of earthworm.
