The terrestrial environment of the East European tundra consists of a mosaic of habitat types. In addition to the natural habitat diversity, various human-influenced types may occur. In the town of Vorkuta, Komi Republic, Russia the manure-enriched soils near hydrogen sulfide springs were observed. This site represents an unusually nutrient-rich location with considerable development of organic soils, in contrast to the naturally forming soils in East European tundra which are typically thin and nutrient poor. In these organic soils, two species of Lumbricidae and two species of Collembola previously not recorded from the natural ecosystems in the study area of research territory were found. One earthworm species, , is likely to have been introduced. The presence of the three other species (, , and ) is quite natural in East European tundra and such anthropogenic soils with high organic content may be a good habitat for them.
东欧苔原的陆地环境由多种栖息地类型组成。除了自然栖息地的多样性外，还可能出现各种受人类影响的类型。在俄罗斯科米共和国的沃尔库塔镇，人们观察到了硫化氢泉附近富含肥料的土壤。与东欧苔原自然形成的通常很薄且养分贫瘠的土壤相比，该地点是一个营养异常丰富的地方，有机土壤发育良好。在这些有机土壤中，发现了两种之前在研究区域的自然生态系统中未记录过的正蚓科蚯蚓和两种弹尾目昆虫。一种蚯蚓物种， ，很可能是被引入的。其他三种物种（ 、 和 ）在东欧苔原中很常见，这种高有机含量的人为土壤可能是它们的良好栖息地。
