Earthworms are abundant and ecologically very important organisms in the soil ecosystem.
Impacts by pollutants on earthworm communities greatly influence the fertility of the …

Increases in the human population, indiscriminate growth of cities, industrialization, and
agricultural practices have led to an increased accumulation of waste materials. The present …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and earthworms independently enhance plant growth,
heavy metal (HM) tolerance, and HM uptake, thus they are potential key factors in …

Livestock manure is one of the main sources of heavy metals (HMs) in agricultural soil. So, it
is necessary to reduce its bioavailability before used as organic fertilizer. In this study, the …

The study investigated the bioaccumulation of Cu, Zn, Pb and Cd in Eisenia fetida fed on pig
manure in greenhouse, and its relationship to bioavailability of these elements in pig …

Soil bacterial community (SBC) and fertility are pivotal for the evaluation of phytoremediation
performance. Although affected by earthworms (E) and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) …

The present study demonstrates the vermistabilization of paper mill wastewater sludge
(PMS) spiked with cow dung (CD) employing indigenous epigeic earthworm Perionyx …

We conducted a pot experiment with biochar (BC), wood ash (WA), and humic substances
(HS) to investigate their effect on As, Zn, Cu, Cd and Pb mobility in soil, as well as enzyme …

Earthworms are often used as test subjects in toxicological studies, due to their
ubiquitousness and sensitivity to contaminant exposure. Such testing is typically conducted …

Ageratum conyzoides, a goat weed that has invaded the world with its disparate behaviour
through the inherence of heavy metal against the cultivated crops. The present study enrapt …
