Earthworm distributions are not driven by measurable soil properties. Do they really indicate soil quality?
Abundance and distribution of earthworms in agricultural fields is frequently proposed as a measure of soil quality assuming that observed patterns of abundance are in response to improved or degraded environmental conditions. However, it is not clear that earthworm abundances can be directly relate...
