Soil degradation is a worsening global phenomenon driven by socio‐economic pressures,
poor land management practices and climate change. A deterioration of soil structure at …

Water is a crucial factor controlling the fate and processing of soil organics. Water commonly
flows through the vadose zone via preferential flow pathways, resulting in nonuniform and …

Soil processes are significantly regulated by biological activities. Soil ecosystem engineers
(predominantly termites, earthworms and ants) and roots produce biogenic structures …

The stimulatory effect of earthworms (Lumbricus terrestris L.) on soil microbial activity was
studied under microcosm-controlled conditions. The hypothesis was tested that microbial …

Chemical characteristics and microbial activity were studied in burrow walls of the anecic
earthworm species Lumbricus terrestris and in control soil of a lime (Tilia cordata), oak …

Soil Science integrates specific contributions from physics, chemistry, biology, and the
human sciences. During the last 2 decades, these approaches, which had primarily …

A pot experiment was conducted to assess the effect of three kinds of vermicompost
materials and P. corethrurus population on plant yield and quality of cabbage under organic …

The influence of two anecic earthworm species, Lumbricusterrestris and Aporrectodeagiardi,
on the soil adjacent to their burrows was studied in the laboratory. The morphological …

Bioporosity in subsoils is strongly influenced by either deep rooting taproots or earthworms,
which can affect important properties for plant growth provided by soils. The open question …

To assess the risks that contaminated soils pose to the environment properly a greater
understanding of how soil biota influence the mobility of metal (loid) s in soils is required …
