| Summary: | The pedoturbation activity of the soil-dwelling mammals results in the complicated spatial soil structure with combined mechanically stable dense soil and the soil mass of low density. Such organization of the soil body has useful combination of the soil properties. The prolonged effect of the mammals’ pedoturbation activity is positive for different constituents of an ecosystem: soil animals, microorganisms and plants. |
