2023, Science of the Total EnvironmentReuse of agricultural wastes, manure, and biochar as an organic amendment: A review on its implications for vermicomposting technology
2022, Journal of Cleaner ProductionCitation Excerpt :Vermicomposting is a more efficient method of degrading organic wastes than composting because earthworms assist in engulfing the waste materials to passing them via their gut, resulting in casts, known as worm manure, at temperature between 10 °C and 32 °C (Lim et al., 2016). Thus, bridging the knowledge gap regarding vermicomposting of surplus crop residues (Zhang et al., 2021; Pang et al., 2012) and manures (Lv et al., 2016), in combination with nutrient-rich sources with NH3 volatilization and GHG impacts in upland areas is still required. Numerous studies and reviews have been conducted on the management of environmental wastes for resource recovery and reuse purposes using life stock manure (Awasthi et al., 2022), waste management models (Sarkar et al., 2021), the potential for recycling CO2 from organic wastes composting (Thomson et al., 2022), and the life cycle assessment of food waste anaerobic digestion using hydrothermal and ionizing radiation (Fei et al., 2022; Wang et al., 2022), while anaerobic digestion of animal waste and its application as fertilizer (Samoraj., 2022), biochar-based fertilizer for agriculture (Cui et al., 2022).
Similar specific mineralization rates of organic carbon and nitrogen in incubated soils under contrasted arable cropping systems
2020, Soil and Tillage ResearchCitation Excerpt :This living or labile organic matter could explain why more C and N were mineralized from undisturbed than disturbed soil samples. If we compare to the results of Pang et al. (2012) who studied the impact of earthworms on C and N mineralization, the extra C mineralized in the undisturbed soils might come from the earthworm activity, but the extra N mineralized is greater than the one reported by these authors. A second possible explanation is the higher moisture content in the undisturbed soils which is likely to be more favourable to mineralization.
Earthworms differentially modify the microbiome of arable soils varying in residue management
2018, Soil Biology and BiochemistryCitation Excerpt :Via these modifications earthworms also alter the structure and functioning of the soil microbiome. However, these effects still are not well understood, e.g. earthworms have been found to stimulate soil microbial biomass due to increased litter input into the soil (bioturbation) (Frouz et al., 2014; Groffman et al., 2015), but also to reduce it, potentially via earthworms competing with microorganisms for food resources (Lachnicht and Hendrix, 2001; Lubbers et al., 2017; Pang et al., 2012). Further, earthworms may not affect microbial biomass at all (Aghababaei et al., 2014).
