Enchytraeid worm (Oligochaeta) influences on microbial community structure, nutrient dynamics and plant growth in blanket peat subjected to warming

Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2002
Our aim was to determine whether the response of below-ground feedback processes to atmospheric warming affects nutrient dynamics and primary production in a model peatland ecosystem. Specifically, we examined the interactions between a dominant soil animal of a blanket peat ecosystem (Enchytraeidae, Oligochaeta) and microbes in response to soil ...

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

Environmental 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.

Habitat components and population density drive plant litter consumption byEudrilus eugeniae(Oligochaeta) under tropical conditions

Integrative Zoology, 2020
AbstractThe ingestion of organic and mineral materials by earthworms is a prominent functional role that has profound consequences for the decomposition and stabilization of soil organic matter. To investigate the litter consumption of the African nightcrawler earthwormEudrilus eugeniaeunder different tropical conditions, we used DNA barcoding to ...

Communities of Enchytraeidae (Oligochaeta) in planted birch stands as compared with natural forests in central Finland

Biology and Fertility of Soils, 2004
This study compares the enchytraeid communities in anthropogenous birch (Betula pendula) stands of different origin with each other and with natural forests at the same latitude in Finland. Nine sites were investigated: three birch stands planted ca. 30 years prior to the study after clear-cutting of spruce stands, three birch stands established ca. 30

Laboratory studies on the influence of the earthwormEukerria saltensis(Beddard) (Oligochaeta: Ocnerodrilidae) on overlying water quality and rice plant establishment

International Journal of Pest Management, 2000
Dense infestations of a peregrine oligochaete worm, Eukerria saltensis (Beddard), have been linked to rice crop failures in southern New South Wales, Australia. The influence of E. saltensis on water quality and rice plant establishment was investigated in a series of laboratory experiments using a flooded Riverina clay soil.

Observations on Helodrilus tetraedrus forma typica and on Other Lumbricidae (Oligochaeta) Found in a Sewage Treatment Plant

American Midland Naturalist, 1941
For some years members of this laboratory have known of the abundance of certain species of earthworms located in the final settling tank of the sewage treatment plant operated for the twin cities of Champaign and Urbana, Illinois. The writer became interested in making a seasonal survey of these larger Oligochaeta.
