Earthworm Aporrectodea molleri (oligochaeta)’s coelomic fluid-associated bacteria modify soil biochemical properties and improve maize (Zea mays L.) plant growth under abiotic stress conditions

open access: closedEnvironmental Science and Pollution Research, 2022
This study evaluated the impact of Aporrectodea molleri's coelomic fluid-associated bacteria (CFB) on Zea mays L. growth and soil biochemical characteristics under abiotic stress conditions, including alkaline soil (pH = 8) and nitrogen (N), phosphate (P), and potassium (K) deficit.

Soil macrofauna correlations with soil chemical and physical properties and crop sequences under no-tillage [PDF]

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2023
Soil macrofauna is an important indicator of soil quality, as it is sensitive to changes in the environment as a result of soil management, which includes soil chemical and physical properties and the diversity of cultivated species.

Trophic structure of the benthic invertebrate community in the littoral zone of a mountain cascade system [PDF]

open access: yesWeb Ecology, 2002
The cascade of Solina/Myczkowce dam reservoirs situated in the West Carpathian Mts was investigated. The cascade consists of two reservoirs, the upper one built 35 yr ago on the San and Solinka Rivers of 2100 ha area separated from another one, of 190

Population dynamics of free-swimming Annelida in four Dutch wastewater treatment plants in relation to process characteristics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Free-swimming Annelida occasionally occur in very high densities in WWTPs (WasteWater Treatment Plants) and are nowadays applied for waste sludge reduction, but their growth is uncontrollable.

Multiple environmental controls explain global patterns in soil animal communities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Soil animals play important roles in ecosystem functioning and stability, but the environmental controls on their communities are not fully understood. In this study, we compiled a dataset of soil animal communities for which the abundance and body mass ...

Evidence on Night Movements of Macroinvertebrates to Macrophytes in a Pampean Stream [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Nocturnal invertebrate abundance peaks in lotic systems are usually associated to drift, however, diel migrations other than drift may be important in slow-flowing systems.

Zoobenthos in watercourses and water bodies in the Bolonsky State Nature Reserve (Russia)

open access: yesNature Conservation Research: Заповедная наука, 2020
Invertebrates play a major role in food chains, being the main feed stock for many vertebrates. So far, the benthic fauna communities are still poorly studied in many water body types, including wetlands in the River Amur basin.

Assessment of earthworms activity based on eaten biomass from selected catch crops

open access: yesAnnales 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
