Earthworms are often considered to be the emblem of soil health due to the large impact agricultural management can have on their wellbeing and habitat, leading to changes in earthworm abundance and diversity. Earthworms also actively improve soil health through soil formation, nutrient cycling and ...
Earthworm activity is an excellent gauge of overall soil health, and their populations have a direct relationship to plant growth and productivity. They help lawns, grass, and soil in three ways: They break down the soil. They decompose organic matter. They poop out amazing, free compost. Ho...
Information on the multiple role of earthworm in the conversion of organic wastes into forms readily available to crops, conditioning of soil, and prevention of pollution of the environment is surveyed. The benefits of encouraging mass culture of earthworms as an alternative to the application of co...
deforestation of the amazonian rainforest and conversion to agriculture with the use of fire creates a mosaic of occupied lands and secondary forests. considering the fundamental role of soil macrofauna and the lack of information about its resilience to deforestation, this study characterized the ear...
We’re going deep under the soil surface to concentrate on one of the major benefits of no-tilling when it comes to improving soil health. Today’s agenda is worms: Earthworms, red worms, nightcrawlers, and other kinds of worms and the impact the have on no-tilled soils.Read More Big...

Earthworms are well-known “ecosystem engineers” regarded as essential for the maintenance of soil health and plant production in agroecosystems [4]. They are generally assumed to have positive or neutral effects on ecosystem functions, such as soil physical structure and soil organic carbon stock ...

Earthworms are segmented annelids that live within the soil. They have simplified body systems that repeat within each segment and contain simple sensory ganglia cells as their nervous systems.Answer and Explanation: Earthworms benefit the soil by aerating it, fertilizing it, and digesting decaying ...
and thus the earthworm could be a useful living organism for the bio-monitoring of soil pollution. In this short review, we describe recent studies concerning the relationship between earthworms and soil pollutants, and discuss the possibility of using the earthworm as a bio-monitoring organism for...
