The role of earthworms in nitrogen release from herbage residues : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Agricultural Science in Soil Science at Massey University [PDF]
, 1987 Decomposition and nutrient release from pasture litter were examined in two biotic systems; either with or without large organisms ("macrobes"). Earthworms were the test macrobe and nitrogen (N) the test nutrient. This experiment addressed the hypothesis

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.Abstract A participatory field experiment was conducted during the 2024 main cropping season in collaboration with local farmers who jointly managed and evaluated the trials. The experiment aims to evaluate the effects of biochar‐based fertilizer (BBF) on soil properties and bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) productivity grown on acidic Nitisols.

Investigating the Potential Consequences of Woodland Creation for British Mammal Populations
Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 1, March 2026.We simulated the conversion of suitable areas in the UK to woodland, according to the current and target woodland creation rates, and assessed how this would affect habitat availability and potential population sizes of British mammals. We predicted that most assessed mammals would benefit or be unaffected by planned woodland creation, but some ...

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 5, Page 2263-2272, March 2026.Summary Soil organic matter (SOM) is primarily derived from leaf and root inputs, but the relative contributions of each are difficult to study without the use of isotopic tracers. Furthermore, associations between trees and mycorrhizal fungi can influence the production and persistence of SOM.

Consequences of Cadmium exposure on growth and reproduction across three generations of earthworm [PDF]
, 2018 Heavy metal pollution disturbs the soil ecosystem by negatively affecting soil fauna and flora. In term of biomass and activity Annelids are a very important part of the soil invertebrate community.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.This study reveals a complex interplay among litter diversity, soil fauna, and microbial communities in subtropical forests. Soil fauna not only significantly affect microbial biomass and community composition, but also mitigate the negative effects of plant diversity on bacterial communities and reverse the associations between specific microbes and ...
