Addition of earthworms to soils in soil ecological field experiments [PDF]
Over recent decades experiments have been undertaken to reveal the optimum method for introducing earthworms into soils so the animals have greater chances of survival and are able to produce sustainable populations.

Determining the values of soil‐mediated contributions to people: A comparative European perspective
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Soil health is a fundamental element underpinning terrestrial ecosystems, yet it is persistently threatened by the ongoing process of land degradation, leading to detrimental impacts on human well‐being. However, there is a paucity of research on the extent to which humans are dependent on soils and the societal values attributed to their ...

The functional role of ants in no‐till cropping systems
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Ants provide valuable ecosystem services in tropical agriculture, but their roles in temperate row crops remain poorly understood. Conservation practices such as no‐till farming and cover cropping support ant communities that contribute to pest suppression, weed seed removal, and soil quality, which can increase crop productivity.

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.The approval of the RNA interference‐based biopesticide Ledprona (Calantha™) in the USA marks a milestone for RNA‐based crop protection. We discuss the regulatory implications for the European Union, highlighting opportunities, challenges, and the need for adapted risk assessment frameworks for RNA‐based plant protection products.

Earthworms affect growth and competition between ectomycorrhizal and arbuscular mycorrhizal plants
Ecosphere, 2019 Previous research showed that during intermediate stages of primary succession, when vegetation is dominated by ectomycorrhizal (EcM) shrubs and trees, site colonization by earthworms substantially alters plant communities.
