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.

Soil BON Earthworm - A global initiative on earthworm distribution, traits, and spatiotemporal diversity patterns

Soil Organisms
Recent research on earthworms has shed light on their global distribution, with high alpha richness in temperate zones and high beta diversity in tropical areas. Climate and agricultural practices, notably plowing and conservation methods, were shown to

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 populations in conventional/organic arable-based systems and their contribution to soil fertility OF0117T [PDF]

, 1995
The project aimed to characterise earthworm population dynamics and behaviour under rotational cropping, comparing organic and conventional systems. Benefits arising from earthworm activity in terms of soil fertility were also assessed.

Bioavailability in soils [PDF]

, 2011
The consumption of locally-produced vegetables by humans may be an important exposure pathway for soil contaminants in many urban settings and for agricultural land use.

Ant and Earthworm Bioturbation in Cold-Temperate Ecosystems

Ecosystems, 2019
In temperate ecosystems, earthworms and ants are the most important organisms for bioturbation. Little is known about how these groups contribute to bioturbation in different environments and to what extent overall bioturbation depends on their diversity.

Influences of earthworm activity and mucus on Cd phytoremediation based on harvesting different leaf types of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea).

PLoS ONE
To explore cost-effective and efficient phytoremediation strategies, this study investigated the distinct roles of earthworm activity and mucus in enhancing Cd phytoextraction from soils contaminated by Festuca arundinacea, focusing on the comparative ...
