Climate change effects on earthworms - a review

Soil Organisms, 2019
Climate change can have a plethora of effects on organisms above and below the ground in terrestrial ecosystems. Given the tremendous biodiversity in the soil and the many ecosystem functions governed by soil organisms, the drivers of soil biodiversity ...

Earthworm

Proceedings of the 18th Koli Calling International Conference on Computing Education Research, 2018
Functional decomposition is the process of breaking a larger problem into smaller subproblems so that each component implements only a single task. Although functional decomposition is integral to computer science, it is of ten overlooked in introductory computer science education due to the challenges of teaching and assessing it given limited ...

Bioremediation of Cd-spiked soil using earthworms (Eisenia fetida): Enhancement with biochar and Bacillus megatherium application.

Chemosphere, 2020
In this study, we evaluated the influence of biochar and Bacillus megatherium on Cd removal from artificially contaminated soils using earthworms (Eisenia fetida).

Low-density polyethylene microplastics as a source and carriers of agrochemicals to soil and earthworms

Environmental Chemistry, 2019
Environmental contextMicroplastics, long recognised as contaminants in aquatic ecosystems, are increasingly of environmental concern for terrestrial ecosystems. This study focuses on the potential of microplastics to act as carriers of agrochemicals and

Integration of earthworms and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi into phytoremediation of cadmium-contaminated soil by Solanum nigrum L.

Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2019
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and earthworms independently enhance plant growth, heavy metal (HM) tolerance, and HM uptake, thus they are potential key factors in phytoremediation.

Earthworms modify soil bacterial and fungal communities through enhancing aggregation and buffering pH

Geoderma, 2019
As ubiquitous ecosystem engineers, earthworms play an important role in shaping the architecture and functioning of soil systems. However, there is limited knowledge on how earthworms modify the soil microbiome in relation to soil biogenic aggregates ...

Assessing biochar impact on earthworms: Implications for soil quality promotion.

Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2019
Potential harmful effects of spent coffee grounds (SCGs)-derived biochar on earthworms (Lumbricus terrestris) were investigated through two complementary experiments, which assessed the avoidance response of earthworms to biochar-amended soils ...

Stimulation of earthworms (Eisenia fetida) on soil microbial communities to promote metolachlor degradation.

Environmental Pollution, 2019
Degradation of metolachlor in surface soil is extremely important to its potential mobility and overall persistence. In this study, the effects of earthworms (Eisenia fetida) on the degradation of metolachlor at two concentration levels (5 and 20 mg kg-1)

Effects of earthworms on nitrogen transformation and the correspond genes (amoA and nirS) in vermicomposting of sewage sludge and rice straw.

Bioresource Technology, 2019
The effects of earthworms on nitrogen transformation and the responsible functional genes during disposal of sewage sludge and rice straw were investigated in this study. Vermicomposting resulted in the lower pH and total organic carbon (TOC) compared to
