Earthworm species and density in semi-natural grasslands on rice paddy levees in Japanese satoyama [PDF]
Biodiversity Data Journal, 2020 Earthworms contribute to the sustainability of food webs in the semi-natural grasslands of levees at paddy margins, which are typical components of satoyama, the traditional agricultural landscapes of Japan.

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 4, December 2026.Jumping worms, a group of invasive earthworms, are spreading northward in North America, yet their impacts remain poorly understood, especially at their northern range limit. Following the initial detection of jumping worms in New Brunswick, we sampled 46 sites across the province to assess their regional spread and examine possible vectors of ...

Assessment of earthworms activity based on eaten biomass from selected catch crops
Annales Universitatis Paedagogicae Cracoviensis Studia Naturae, 2019 The trophic activity of soil mesofauna, especially earthworms (the Lumbricidae family), is a key element in increasing the fertility of agroecosystems. Thee food strategies that earthworms use as part of the trophic networks in soil, and especially their

Resurvey of Boreal Earthworm Communities in Southern and Northern Finland
New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 4, December 2026.Boreal forests account for 11.5% of the Earth's land area, and, unlike oceanic and mediterranean forests, their cold winters typically represent the harshest season for earthworms. In Fennoscandia, these forests are subject to substantial global changes, notably climate change and land use intensification, which might impact earthworm populations.

Native earthworms and roe deer in temperate forests: Friends in the sun, foes in the shade
Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 9, September 2026.Abstract Given increasing deer populations and rising canopy openness through tree mortality in European forests, understanding how these changes affect above‐belowground communities and ecosystem functioning is becoming more important. Earthworms comprise the largest animal biomass in European forest soils and play a central role in decomposition ...

Soil Contamination Around the Copper Smelter and the Use of Soil Microarthropods as Bioindicators
Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 11384-11403, September 2026.ABSTRACT Soil contamination from smelter emissions, including heavy metals (HM), rare earth elements (REEs), and sulfur, poses a significant threat to soil ecosystems. In the immediate vicinity of the Głogów Copper Smelter, HM concentrations were several times higher than in more distant forest stands.

Site‐specific climate responses of soil decomposer biodiversity in forests
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract Climate change strongly impacts forest ecosystems, exacerbating drought stress, tree mortality, and shifts in species composition. While aboveground changes are well documented, belowground biodiversity and its response to climate‐driven alterations remain less studied.
