Soil structure and earthworm activity under different tillage systems in organic farming [PDF]
, 2007 Organic farmers are encouraged to adopt conservation tillage to preserve soil quality and fertility and prevent erosion. However, many studies in different soil and climate conditions have demonstrated that the compaction of the untilled layer is higher ...

Advanced Materials Technologies, Volume 10, Issue 6, March 18, 2025.This article demonstrates that encasing a hyperelastic balloon in an inextensible sleeve greatly increases its burst pressure. This simple mechanical behavior can be used to produce an asymmetric inflation‐deflation sequence for coupled balloons with different thicknesses so they could serve as a soft robot's rear and front anchors when driven from a ...

Ecology, 2019 Recent studies have shown that invasive earthworms can dramatically reduce native biodiversity, both above and below the ground. However, we still lack a synthetic understanding of the underlying mechanisms behind these changes, such as whether earthworm

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Inflatable kirigami crawlers are fabricated from heat‐sealable textiles and achieve motion through cyclic pneumatic actuation. Strategically placed kirigami cuts guide asymmetric deformation, doubling contraction compared to traditional pouches and forming scale‐like surfaces.

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 ...
