Predatory beetles facilitate plant growth by driving earthworms to lower soil layers

, 2013
Theory suggests that predators of soil-improving, plant-facilitating detritivores (e.g. earthworms) should suppress plant growth via a negative tri-trophic cascade, but the empirical evidence is still largely lacking.

Invasive Earthworms

, 2013
The presence of earthworms in the soil is thought by many to be a good thing. Earthworms aerate the soil, break down decaying plant matter, and mix and fertilize the soil with their waste matter.

Earthworms as bioindicator organisms of soil pollution

, 2013
The metal levels were determined in soil samples in earthworms collected in the vicinity of the abandoned lead smelter (the Upper Meža Valley, Žerjav) and the largest thermal power plant in Slovenia (the Šalek Valley, Veliki Vrh), near Velenje – Celje ...
