Earthworms regulate soil microbial and plant residues through decomposition

Earthworms regulate soil microbial and plant residues through decomposition

Earthworms are keystone regulators of carbon exchange between terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere. However, exactly how earthworms regulate the composition of microbial and plant-derived carbon in soil organic matter remains poorly understood. Here we conducted a microcosm experiment with two...
