Enrichment of soil organic carbon by native earthworms in a patch of tropical soil, Kerala, India: First report
Abstract The role of earthworms in soil carbon dynamics is a recent avenue of research which is less studied in India. Three plots of 1 m3 size were laid in Jeevaka live laboratory (JLL)- a biodiversity rich area within the University campus. A control plot (CP) of same dimension was maintained outs...
