Earthworms and Soil Pollutants [PDF]

Sensors, 2011
Although the toxicity of metal contaminated soils has been assessed with various bioassays, more information is needed about the biochemical responses, which may help to elucidate the mechanisms involved in metal toxicity. We previously reported that the earthworm, Eisenia fetida, accumulates cadmium in its seminal vesicles.

Polyvinyl chloride microplastic triggers bidirectional transmission of antibiotic resistance genes in soil-earthworm systems

Environment International
The diffusion and distribution of ubiquitous microplastics and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in soil ecosystems are easily influenced by earthworm activity.

Sewage Sludge-Induced Effect on Growth, Enzyme Inhibition, and Genotoxicity can be Ameliorated Using Wheat Straw and Biochar in Pheretima posthuma Earthworms

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
Sewage sludge, rich in organic matter and nutrients, is widely used as a fertilizer to increase the fertility of soil. The direct application of sewage sludge without any treatment causes soil contamination as well as significantly affects the earthworm ...

Leaching of microplastics by preferential flow in earthworm (Lumbricus terrestris) burrows

Environmental Chemistry, 2019
Environmental contextMicroplastics found in soil pose several potential environmental risks. This study shows that microplastics on the soil surface can be ingested by earthworms and transported to the lower soil layers.

Pesticides and earthworms. A review [PDF]

Agronomy for Sustainable Development, 2013
Earthworms provide key soil functions that favour many positive ecosystem services. These services are important for agroecosystem sustainability but can be degraded by intensive cultural practices such as use of pesticides. Many literature reports have investigated the effect of pesticides on earthworms.

Effects of Forest Harvesting Operations on the Recovery of Earthworms and Nematodes in the Hyrcanain Old-Growth Forest: Assessment, Mitigation, and Best Management Practice

Land, 2022
The quality and performance of forest soil is closely related to the characteristics of the faunal community in the soil. Focusing on soil organisms can provide good indicators to choose the best soil restoration methods to improve the properties of ...

Side-swiped: Ecological cascades emanating from earthworm invasion.

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, 2019
Non-native, invasive earthworms are altering soils throughout the world. Ecological cascades emanating from these changes stem from earthworm-caused changes in detritus processing occurring at a mid-point in the trophic pyramid, rather than the more ...
