Earthworms Modulate Impacts of Soil Heterogeneity on Plant Growth at Different Spatial Scales
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Soil heterogeneity (uneven distribution of soil nutrients and/or other properties) is ubiquitous in nature and can greatly affect plant growth. As earthworm activity can influence nutrient redistribution in the soil, we hypothesize that earthworms may ...

Earthworms and Soil Pollutants [PDF]
Sensors, 2011 Although the toxicity of metal contaminated soils has been assessed with various bioassays, more information is needed about the biochemical responses, which may help to elucidate the mechanisms involved in metal toxicity. We previously reported that the earthworm, Eisenia fetida, accumulates cadmium in its seminal vesicles.

The Nephridia of Earthworms. [PDF]
Nature, 1888 THE last number of the Quarterly Journal of Microscopical Science has just come into my hands, containing a paper, by Mr. Beddard, on the nephridia of certain earthworms. In November of last year I read a paper, before the Royal Society of Victoria, on the anatomy of the large Gippsland earthworm, Megascolides australis.
