Effects of Three Pesticides on the Earthworm Lumbricus terrestris Gut Microbiota

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Earthworms play a vital role in the terrestrial ecosystem functioning and maintenance of soil fertility. However, many pesticides, for example, imidacloprid, benomyl, and metribuzin that are world-widely used in agriculture, may be potentially dangerous ...

Seismic Phase Association Based on the Maximum Likelihood Method

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021
Phase association is a process that links seismic phases triggered at the stations of a seismic network to declare the occurrence of earthquakes. During phase association, a set of phases from different stations is examined to determine the common origin

Earthworm Protease [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Soil Science, 2010
The alimentary tract of earthworm secretes a group of proteases with a relative wide substrate specificity. In 1983, six isozymes were isolated from earthworm with fibrinolytic activities and called fibriniolytic enzymes. So far, more isozymes have been found from different earthworm species such asLumbricus rubellusandEisenia fetida.

Is Rockwool Potentially Harmful to the Soil Environment as a Nursery Substrate? Taking Eisenia fetida as an Example for Toxicological Analysis

Agriculture, 2023
We studied the effect of rockwool matrix on the conventional physical and chemical properties of soil and analyzed its toxicological effect on Eisenia fetida. The physical and chemical properties of rockwool were studied with characterization tests.

Roots and earthworms under grass, clover and a grass-clover mixture [PDF]

, 2010
White clover has a lower root biomass and a higher abundance of earthworms than grass. This might have an impact on the ecosystem services soil structure maintenance and water regulation when white clover is introduced in a grass-clover mixture.
