Description

The reduced reproduction of A. caliginosa and population density of lumbricids was shown at the polluted site. The survival of A. caliginosa after acute γ-irradiation (2270 Gy) was higher at contaminated site (LD50/10) than reference site (LD50/6). The data obtained indicate the adaptation of inhabiting contaminated site earthworm population to the harsh environmental conditions. (author)
