The population of earthworms Lumbricus spp. on the plateau of La Paz, Bolivia

The macrofauna is an important component of ecosystems because its participation in the biodegradation of soil nutrients has beneficial effects on the food chain. During six months, from February through July, a number of worms and their biomass (g m-2) were assessed in the soil of the Estación Expe...
