Effect of initial feeding on the growth and survival of larvae Acipenser baerii ♀×Acipenser schrenckii ♂

Siliao yanjiu, 2021
The aim of the experiment was to study the effect of initial feeding on the growth and survival of larvae Acipenser baerii ♀×Acipenser schrenckii ♂. Larvae Acipenser baerii ♀×Acipenser schrenckii ♂ with average body weight of (0.034 4±0.001 8) g were ...

Effects of earthworms and mycorrhizal fungi on the growth of the medicinal herb Calendula officinalis (Asteraceae)

Plant, Soil and Environment, 2011
Both earthworms and symbiotic arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) often co-occurr in ecosystems, however very little is known on their interrelationships.

The Effects of Earthworms on Fungal Diversity and Community Structure in Farmland Soil With Returned Straw

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
BackgroundTo promote the decomposition of returned straw, reduce the incidence of soil-borne diseases caused by returned straw, and accelerate the conversion of straw carbon into soil carbon, we inoculated earthworms into fields with returned straw.

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.

Effects of multi-walled carbon nanotubes in soil on earthworm growth and reproduction, enzymatic activities, and metabolomics

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 ...

Ecotoxicological effects of a synthetic and a natural insecticide on earthworms and soil bacterial community

Environmental Advances, 2022
Earthworms and microbial communities are essential non-target soil organisms that are useful to assess the collateral impact of pesticides. The present paper reports three laboratory experiments performed to investigate the effects of sub-lethal doses of

Earthworm-mycorrhiza interactions can affect the diversity, structure and functioning of establishing model grassland communities.

PLoS ONE, 2011
Both earthworms and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are important ecosystem engineers co-occurring in temperate grasslands. However, their combined impacts during grassland establishment are poorly understood and have never been studied. We used large
