Abstract

The influence of soil exchangeable cations and aluminium content on the distribution of various terrestrial gastropods was investigated. Calcium was the most important factor, though aluminium and magnesium content also had some effect. Potassium and sodium had no significant influence on distribution. The species most sensitive to the factors analysed were Cochlicopa lubrica, Vertigo pygmaea and Carychium tridentatum.
