Scope: What is ISO 23611 ‑ 3 - Enchytraeids sampling and extraction about? ISO 23611 ‑ 3 is the third part of the ISO 23611 multi-series on soil quality that focuses on soil invertebrates. ISO 23611 ‑ 3 specifies a method for the sampling, handling, and extraction of enchytraeids from terrestrial field soils as a prerequisite for using these animals as bioindicators (e.g., to assess the quality of a soil as a habitat for organisms). Basic information on the ecology of enchytraeids and their use as bioindicators in the terrestrial environment is included in the Bibliography. ISO 23611 ‑ 3 applies to all terrestrial biotopes in which enchytraeids occur. The sampling design of field studies, in general, is given in ISO 18400-101 . These details can vary according to the climatic/ regional conditions of the site to be sampled and an overview on the determination of effects of pollutants on enchytraeids in field situations is given. Note: ISO 23611 ‑ 3 is not applicable for very wet or flooded soils and might be difficult ...
