Can We Predict How Earthworm Effects on Plant Growth Vary with Soil Properties?

Can We Predict How Earthworm Effects on Plant Growth Vary with Soil Properties?

Earthworms are usually assumed to enhance plant growth through different mechanisms which are now clearly identified. It is however difficult to determine their relative importance, and to predict a priori the strength and direction of the effects of a given earthworm species on a given plant. Soil...
