Meanwhile, on Earth:
As the ground thaws, earthworms return to the surface, their skin secreting microscopic mucus to glide through the dirt.

Great to hear "A life without worms" broadcast last week on BBC Radio4 with Alan Davies and Sandra Salazar D’eca from go-grow.org.uk/our-story/
What would happen if #earthworms disappeared? You can find out here www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
Good to chat #earthworms and #flooding with Michael Berenbrink, Kristian Daly, Megan Klaar, Qiuyu Zhu and Ben Pile today as part of our #Leverhulme Trust funded project - Sink or Swim

A woman holding her sheet up is crying in bed, an earthworm floats above her head. Text: Being an uber geek I still sometimes wake up in the middle of the night wondering about major issues like “Do earthworms have parasites?”

🪱Happy Darwin Day
He spent over 40 years studying earthworms
His final scientific book, The Formation of Vegetable Mould Through the Action of Worms, argued that earthworms are major geological agents, slowly transforming entire landscapes through their constant burrowing and digestion

As I’ve been working on #permaculture, I realized I never saw any earthworms. I looked it up, as i do before i introduce anything to the area, #maine doesn’t have native #earthworms! I had no idea but I’m not from Maine so I’m still learning. I found one #jumpingworm, thankfully only one so far 🤞
There are no native #earthworms in Alberta.
The worm below is not native to Alberta. However, as only one has been spotted in the wild, it is likely it would not become an #invasive species.

#Soils are vital #ecosystem drivers, yet they remain widely overlooked.
A new review of Brazil’s soil biodiversity reveals that #soil mites are the most studied group (>40%), followed by #earthworms, #springtails, and #enchytraeids.

#WorldSoilDay - healthy soil - healthy environment. To see a molehill - in my book - means earthworms. Soil engineers like #moles #earthworms aerate soil, improve drainage and provide nutrients from leaf litter for essential plant growth. Please LOVE them. 💚🖤🤎
🌱Happy to share our new CREST paper📖 from Dr. Guan’s group on earthworm‑driven phosphorus cycling in soils🐛, highlighting how the drilosphere shapes soil biogeochemistry and supports sustainable agriculture

A final #NERC #funded #PhD project to advertise - this one asks the question: How will #earthworms survive as #droughts become increasingly common with a changing climate. Please DM me if interested and circulate to possible candidates. More info. www.findaphd.com/phds/project...
