Species Richness, Community Organization, and Spatiotemporal Distribution of Earthworms in the Pineapple Agroecosystems of Tripura, India

International Journal of Ecology, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
The impact that plant communities may have on underground faunal diversity is unclear. Therefore, understanding the links between plants and organisms is of major interest. Earthworm population dynamics were studied in the pineapple agroecosystems of Tripura to evaluate the impact of monoculture plantation on earthworm communities.

Impact of Biochar on Earthworm Populations: A Review

Applied and Environmental Soil Science, Volume 2011, Issue 1, 2011., 2011
Despite the overwhelming importance of earthworm activity in the soil system, there are a limited number of studies that have examined the impact resulting from biochar addition to soil. Biochar is part of the black carbon continuum of chemo‐thermal converted biomass. This review summarizes existing data pertaining to earthworms where biochar and other

Earthworm-biochar interactions: A laboratory trial using Pontoscolex corethrurus

Science of The Total Environment, 2021
Abstract Biochar application can improve soil quality, but at high rates may cause negative effects on soil organisms such as earthworms. Conversely, as ecosystem engineers and catalysts of microbial activity, earthworms can also affect soil quality and interact with biochar, though little is known concerning endogeic earthworm species interactions ...
