Green Corridors May Sustain Habitats for Earthworms in A Partially Converted Grassland

Green Corridors May Sustain Habitats for Earthworms in A Partially Converted Grassland

Permanent grasslands provide a healthy and undisturbed environment. We investigated how mulching altered the soil physicochemical parameters, earthworm abundance, biomass, species composition and vegetation cover compared to grassland and cultivated alfalfa field. Microplots (2 × 2 m) were mulched w...
