Asymmetrical hybridization and gene flow between Eisenia andrei and E. fetida lumbricid earthworms [PDF]
, 2018 Uniformly pigmented Eisenia andrei (Ea) and striped E. fetida (Ef) lumbricid earthworms are hermaphrodites capable of self-fertilization, cross-fertilization, and asymmetrical hybridization.

Impacts of earthworms and their excreta on peat soil properties and bacterial community
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2023 Peatlands store 20–30 % of the global soil carbon (C). Earthworms simultaneously increase net C stabilization and net C mineralization. But little is known about the impact of earthworm invasion on the C cycling in peat soils.

Bioassays with terrestrial and aquatic species as monitoring tools of hydrocarbon degradation [PDF]
, 2016 In this study chemical analyses and ecotoxicity tests were applied for the assessment of a heavily hydrocarbon-contaminated soil prior and after the application of a remediation procedure that consisted in the stimulation of soil autochthonous ...

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2022 Increased production and environmental release of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) increase soil exposure and potential risk to earthworms. However, MWCNT toxicity to earthworms remains unclear, with some studies identifying negative effects and ...

Soil biological quality of grassland fertilized with adjusted cattle manure slurries in comparison with organic and inorganic fertilizers [PDF]
, 2009 We studied the effect of five fertilizers (including two adjusted manure slurries) and an untreated control on soil biota and explored the effect on the ecosystem services they provided.
