Earthworms in the Urban Environment: Can Population Augmentation Improve Urban Soil Properties?
Urban forests perform essential ecological functions, and their performance is dependent on soil quality, which is often degraded by human activity. Because earthworms play a key role in soil health, augmenting earthworm populations in urban soils may improve tree performance. However, we know very...
