Communications Biology, 2019 Earthworms co-determine whether soil, as the largest terrestrial carbon reservoir, acts as source or sink for photosynthetically fixed CO2. However, conclusive evidence for their role in stabilising or destabilising soil carbon has not been fully ...

Collection and rearing of earthworms [PDF]
, 2009 Earthworm experimentation requires a source of supply. This may come from field-collection, purchase from a supplier, or from breeding of stock. The mode of obtaining the animals may be determined by the type of experimentation, but must not compromise ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.To explore the impact of nanosizing on pesticide biointeractions, a 7‐nm (average) emamectin benzoate nanopesticide without nanocarriers or surfactants is fabricated via HOAc‐mediated disaggregation. Nanosizing enhances bioactivity against Megalurothrips usitatus and Meloidogyne enterolobii and improves plant penetration.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A fluorinated hydrogen‐bonded organic framework nanocarrier (PFC‐1‐F) loaded with PYR and coated with HACC enables multi‐stimuli‐responsive (enzyme/ROS/pH) release at infection sites. Exhibiting targeted antifungal activity against Sclerotium rolfsii, modulating plant antioxidant defense, and demonstrating favorable biosafety across plant, soil, and ...

A meta-analysis reveals earthworms as mutualists rather than predators of soil microorganisms
GeodermaMicroorganisms constitute the largest biomass on Earth after plants, and earthworms are one of the main components of animal biomass. Both are critical drivers of soil functions and ecosystem services.

Frequency and diversity of worms in topsoil of degraded and reclaimed forest habitats of the Caspian region [PDF]
مجله جنگل ایران, 2018 Earthworms are considered as the most important characteristics in assessing the quality and soil health of forest ecosystems. Earthworms were identified according to their shape and appearance, and their biomass was measured at the laboratory.

The impact of cadmium and mercury contamination on reproduction and body mass of earthworms
Plant, Soil and Environment, 2008 The accumulation of heavy metals in the tissues of earthworms is a helpful indicator of environmental contamination. The degree of substrate contamination can be additionally evaluated on the basis of survivability, reproduction and body mass of ...

Reproduction of Earthworms: Sexual Selection and Parthenogenesis
, 2011 Earthworms are generally cross-fertilization hermaphrodites, but up to 40% of the species can be parthenogenetic. In simultaneous hermaphrodites, a trade-off between male and female sexual functions is expected because the two sexes share limited ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Conventional passive radiative cooling films rely on costly feedstocks and energy‐intensive fabrication, with poor end‐of‐life compatibility in agriculture. To address this challenge, a sustainable radiative cooling mulch (SRCM) is developed from waste maize leaves via spontaneous hydrogen‐bond self‐assembly.
