The results of research showed that on location I found 4 species, they are:
Pontoscolex corethrurus, Peryonix excavatus, Megascolex cempii dan Pheretima
posthuma. Location II it was 4 species, they are: Pontoscolex corethrurus, Drawida
sp, Peryonix excavatus, dan Pheretima posthuma. The highest population density
found ini location presented by Pontoscolex corethrurus with the number for 20,89
organism/m2
. While the highest existence frequency with the number 60,00%. There
are 3 species of earthworm that alive better in each location, they Pontoscolex
corethrurus, Peryonix excavatus dan Drawida sp. To assess the index morista (
distribution) >1 and < 1 in each location pertained by in groups and regular
distribution. The similarities index of earthworm found between location I and
location II with the number 75,00%. | en_US |
