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.

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.We provide a historic overview of microscopic soil structure characterization from its founding father, Walter Kubiëna, to several technical revolutions like automation, digitalization, and artificial intelligence. In addition to technical advancements, we explore how concepts and research questions have evolved in time.

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 ...

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Results to date on the effectiveness of plantain (Plantago lanceolata L.) use as a nitrous oxide (N2O) mitigation tool have been variable. In this context, soil mineral N and water content might be factors regulating plantain effectiveness in reducing N2O emissions.

An earthworm-inspired soft robot with perceptive artificial skin
Bioinspiration & Biomimetics, 2019 The bodies of earthworms are composed of repeating deformable structural units, called metameres, that generate the peristaltic body motions required for limbless underground burrowing and above-ground crawling.

Can DNA from wet, temperate soils be used for palaeoecological reconstruction?
Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sedimentary ancient DNA in well‐dated contexts (sedaDNA) has great potential as a palaeoecological proxy. A few studies have attempted palaeoecological reconstructions using sedaDNA from soil; these studies have been mainly restricted to cold and/or dry soils.
