Earthworms to improve glyphosate degradation in biobeds
(Springer Heidelberg, 2020-05)
In this work, earthworm effect on the efficiency of biobeds for glyphosate degradation was studied. Three biomixtures with and without the addition of earthworms (Eisenia fetida species) were evaluated. The initial ...
Exotic earthworm (Oligochaeta: Lumbricidae) assemblages on a landscape scale in central Canadian woodlands: Importance of region and vegetation type
(National Research Council Canada-NRC Research Press, 2017-08)
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. ...
The diversification and intensification of crop rotations under no-till promote earthworm abundance and biomass
(Molecular Diversity Preservation International, 2020-06-27)
The diversification and intensification of crop rotations (DICR) in no-till systems is a novel approach that aims to increase crop production, together with decreasing environmental impact. Our objective was to analyze the ...
A new earthworm trace fossil from paleosols: Aestivation chambers from the Late Pleistocene Sopas Formation of Uruguay
(Elsevier Science, 2007-01)
A new ichnotaxon, attributed to earthworm aestivation chambers, is described from paleosols of the Sopas Formation (Upper Pleistocene) of northern Uruguay. This ichnofossil consists of a spherical chamber with a constructed ...
Crop residues used as food drive enzyme activation and enzymatic stoichiometry in casts of the earthworm Aporrectodea caliginosa (Savigny, 1826)
(Elsevier Science, 2021-10)
Earthworms are drivers of soil processes as soil structure formation and organic mattercycling. Through providing soil microbiota with mucus, temperature, and organicresources within their guts, earthworms enhance their ...
Approach to assess agroecosystem anthropic disturbance: Statistical monitoring based on earthworm populations and edaphic properties
(Elsevier Science, 2020-04)
Land degradation due to anthropic factors is the reduction of its actual or potential productivity. Nowadays, this topic is a major concern, as it affects more than one third of the soil in the world. This work presents ...
An eco-biotechnological process for the treatment of residual lemon pulp
(Springer, 2009-09)
A biological treatment was designed for lemon pulp waste, a residual product from the lemon processing industry that causes many economic and environmental problems. The technique was carried out in two stages. In the first ...
Survival, reproduction, avoidance behavior and oxidative stress in the earthworm Octolasion cyaneum exposed to glyphosate
(2016-03)
The massive use of glyphosate (GLY) in several countries has increased the interest in investigating its potential adverse effects in non-target organisms. The aim of the present study was to assess the potential effects ...
Ecotoxicological evaluation of foundry sands and cosmetic sludges using new earthworm biomarkers
(Springer, 2016-03)
The management and final disposal of industrial wastes are a matter of considerable human concern. The present study evaluates the cyto/genotoxic effects and changes of the coelomic cell formulas exerted by aqueous leachates ...
Earthworms contribute to ecosystem process in no-till systems with high crop rotation intensity in Argentina
(Gauthier-Villars/Editions Elsevier, 2019-07)
In the Pampas region of Argentina agriculture is dominated by intensive no-till (NT) soybean cropping which produce negative consequences on soil quality. A group of farmers started to use the Good Agricultural Practices ...
