The Role of Different Earthworm Species (<i>Metaphire Hilgendorfi</i> and <i>Eisenia Fetida</i>) on CO<sub>2</sub> Emissions and Microbial Biomass during Barley Decomposition

Earthworms are commonly known as essential modifiers of soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycles, but the effects of their species on nutrient cycles and interaction with soil microbial activities during the decomposition of organic materials remain unclear. We conducted an incubation experiment to i...
