Congrats to Zheng Fang on his latest PhD paper. This one shows that #microplastics can reduce the toxicity of salinity to #earthworms and that salinity is a more significant environmental challenge to earthworms than microplastics.

Latest NERC rejection in. Any thoughts on who might fund research into mechanisms by which #earthworms boost #plant growth as a follow up to this study www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... and as a means to identify methods to try and reduce fertiliser inputs welcome!

Enhanced plant growth in the presence of earthworms correlates with changes in soil microbiota but not nutrient availability

Earthworms enhance plant growth but the precise mechanism by which this occurs is not known. An understanding of the mechanism could potentially suppo…
