为了研究蚯蚓洞穴系统的空间结构，开发了一种野外方法来三维绘制这些系统的地图。该方法是基于土壤的连续切片。该方法的一个重要特征是使用洞穴的取向，以便减少可靠重建洞穴系统所需的层数。通过使用搜索窗口来重建洞穴系统，搜索窗口的位置和大小取决于单个洞穴的方向。文中给出了一个由长圆线虫和长圆线虫组成的蚯蚓洞穴系统的三维结构的例子。
To study the spatial structure of earthworm burrow systems a field method was developed to map these systems three-dimensionally. The method is based on serial sectioning of the soil. An important feature of the method is the use of the orientation of the burrows in order to reduce the number of layers needed for a reliable reconstruction of the burrow system. The burrow system is reconstructed from the measured data.by using search windows of which the position and size depend on the orientation of each single burrow. An example of the three-dimensional structure of an earthworm burrow system made by Aporrectodea longa and A. caliginosa is given.
