A troglobite (or, formally, troglobiont) is an animal species, or population of a species, strictly bound to underground habitats, such as caves.These are separate from species that mainly live in above-ground habitats but are also able to live underground (eutroglophiles), and species that are only cave visitors (subtroglophiles and trogloxenes). [1]
Cave dwelling animals show different levels of adaptations to underground environment. According to a recent classification, animals living in terrestrial subterranean habitats can be classified into 3 categories, based on their ecology: troglobionts (or troglobites): species strongly bound to subterranean habitats;
Underground farming is the practice of cultivating food underground. Underground farming is usually done using hydroponics, aeroponics or air-dynaponics systems or container gardens. Light is generally provided by means of growth lamps [1] or daylighting systems (as light tubes). [2] The advantages of underground farming are that it is ...

Floodwaters can be detrimental to troglofaunal species, by dramatically changing the availability of habitat, food and connectivity to other habitats and oxygen. Many troglofaunal species are likely to be sensitive to changes in their environment and floods, which can accompany a drop in temperature that may adversely affect some animals. [9]
A fenced slurry pit. A slurry pit (also farm slurry pit, slurry tank, slurry lagoon, and slurry store) is a hole, a dam, or a circular concrete structure where farmers gather all animal waste and unusable organic matter, such as hay, and the run-off water from the washing of dairies, stables, and barns, in order to convert the slurry, over a lengthy period of time, into fertilizer that can be ...
