Short summary
The studies of annelids and crustaceans in Kraköw's urban wells indicate a heterogeneous and partly natural underground ecosystem. It is worth emphasizing that the occurrence of stygobitic species in a significant part of the wells suggests that some groundwater habitats in the city maintain ecological integrity. These findings emphasize the importance of including urban groundwater fauna in biodiversity assessments and confirm the need for long-term biomonitoring systems.
