Repair of a compacted Oxisol by the earthworm Pontoscolex corethrurus (Glossoscolecidae, Oligochaeta)

Biology and Fertility of Soils, 1997
The potential of Pontoscolex corethrurus to repair the physical degradation of a compacted Oxisol was studied. The Oxisol from Kingaroy, Queensland, Australia was uniformly packed to four treatments of different bulk densities (0.95, 1.15, 1.25, 1.35 Mg m–3) in pots of 0.24 m diameter and 0.22 m deep.

Ingestion of charcoal by the Amazonian earthworm Pontoscolex corethrurus: A potential for tropical soil fertility [PDF]

open access: yesSoil Biology and Biochemistry, 2006
It is now attested that a large part of the Amazonian rain forest has been cultivated during Pre-Colombian times, using charcoal as an amendment. The incorporation of charcoal to the soil is a starting point for the formation of fertile Amazonian Dark Earths, still selected by Indian people for shifting cultivation.

A neotype for Pontoscolex corethrurus (Müller, 1857) (Clitellata)

Zootaxa, 2019
Following many decades of work on the taxonomy, biology and ecology of the globally-distributed tropical earthworm Pontoscolex corethrurus (Müller, 1857), morphological and molecular data have shown that the stability and effectiveness of nomenclature depends on the designation of a neotype from the type locality.

Life cycle of Pontoscolex corethrurus ( ) in tropical artificial soil

Pedobiologia, 2011
Abstract Pontoscolex corethrurus (Muller) is a widespread, peregrine earthworm species of the Glossoscolecidae family, native to the Neotropics. This endogeic earthworm shows wide tolerance to environmental variations, being found in many different habitats and soil types throughout the tropics and sub-tropics.

The peregrine earthworm Pontoscolex corethrurus in the East coast of Costa Rica

Pedobiologia, 2003
Sampling of earthworm communities was performed in the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica at 8 sites to assess the distribution of the peregrine pantropical species Pontoscolex corethrurus and its relationships with native species depending on the type of land use. P. corethrurus was largely dominant at each site and in almost all habitat types. Density was

Sensitivity of the Endogeic Tropical Earthworm Pontoscolex corethrurus to the Presence of Heavy Crude Oil

Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 2017
Contamination of soil with petroleum is common in oil-producing areas across the tropical regions of the world. There is limited knowledge on the sensitivity of endogeic tropical earthworms to the contamination of soil with total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) present in crude oil.

Tissue carbon sources for Pontoscolex corethrurus (Oligochaeta: Glossoscolecidae) in a sugarcane ecosystem

Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 1990
Abstract The pantropical, geophagous earthworm species Pontoscolex corethrurus (Muller) is common in lowland soils supporting sugarcanc in notheastern Queensland. In comparison with situations where harvest residues are burned, its populations are substantially increased under cultural treatments in which harvest residues are retained as a surface ...
