We investigated the effects of road age on the spread of non-native earthworms, which act as ecosystem engineers.2We sampled earthworms and habitat variables at 98 roads in the boreal forest of Alberta, Canada, to determine the influence of road age on non-native earthworm occurrence at the ...
请判断并选择下面这段文字的写作逻辑: We highlight the need to integrate belowground organisms into biodiversity research, despite differences in the scale of sampling, if we are to fully understand large-scale patterns of biodiversity and their unde
Explain the importance of nitrogen in growing plants. What is the importance of pH for living systems? What is the importance of phosphorus to plants? How are earthworms considered beneficial to soil? What is the importance of studying fungi by a biology student? In what way can our diet aff...
ecosystem engineersA previous study on the nests of the wood ant species Formica aquilonia in Finland showed them to be summer refugia for two species of earthworms in Finland. They showed that earthworm abundance and biomass were greater in nests than in surrounding soil and leaf litter, ...
How do earthworms affect soil? What is ecological importance? What is the importance of generating isolated bacterial colonies? Why are sea urchins important to coral reefs? What is the importance of endemic hotspots to biodiversity conservation? Why are orangutans important to the ecosystem? What is...
earthworms, nodules, nutrient, nitrogen, phosphorus, microbial loop. We also searched studies in the reference lists of relevant articles and reviews. We selected studies that (i) tested the effects of bacterivores (protists or nematodes) on ecosystem functions by successfully manipulating soil bac...
“A food chain is a linear network of links in a food web starting from producer organisms (such as grass or trees which use radiation from the sun to make their food) and ending at apex predator species (like grizzly bears or killer whales), detrivores (like earthworms or woodlice), ...

A growing understanding about the impacts of earthworms (Oligochaeta: Lumbricidae) on ecosystem processes and forest restoration necessitates an examination of their role in Canadian forests where they have become invasive. Little is known about the landscape scale responses of earthworm populations to ...
