Summary/Abstract: The comparative data on structure, number and biomass of soil mesofauna depending on a productivity of the vegetation of inundated meadows are presented. The increase of the vegetation productivity of meadows is accompanied by the augmentation of number and biomass of soil invertebrates. However under conditions of overwetting the number and biomass decrease despite the augmentation of economic efficiency of the vegetation.
