Introduced earthworms in agricultural and reclaimed land: their ecology and influences on soil properties, plant production and other soil biota

2006-09-01

Abstract excerpt

Accidental and deliberate introductions of earthworms into agricultural and reclaimed land are natural experiments that provide opportunities to understand the attributes of successful invaders and their impacts on local biota and ecosystem processes. We consider various case studies (e.g., earthworm invasions in agricultural soils in Australia and Brazil) and deliberate introductions of earthworms into reclaimed...
