Global earthworm distribution and activity windows based on soil hydromechanical constraints

Here, the authors present a mechanistic model of how soil bioturbation and climate interact to predict the global distribution of habitats and associated temporal windows of earthworms. Their models show that seasonal activity windows are predicted by soil mechanical states governed by precipitation...

Sumario:Here, the authors present a mechanistic model of how soil bioturbation and climate interact to predict the global distribution of habitats and associated temporal windows of earthworms. Their models show that seasonal activity windows are predicted by soil mechanical states governed by precipitation level and distribution estimates are affected by habitat fragmentation, and highlights areas for potential earthworm migration and regions sensitive to climate.
