BIOPORE - Linking spatial patterns of anecic earthworm populations, preferential flow pathways and agrochemical transport in rural catchments: An ecohydrological modelling approach (Project)

Earthworms play a pivotal role in agro-ecosystem functioning by modulating soil structure that significantly influences soil hydraulic properties, organic matter dynamics, and plant growth. This project focuses on anecic earthworms like Lumbricus terrestris which create vertical semi-permanent burrows that function as preferential flow pathways. Preferential flow in macropores is a key process...

Interaction and control of mammalian ectoparasites using Entomopathogenic Fungi (EF) (Project)

Ticks are major pests of cattle, horses, and other domestic and wild animals and attack humans too, worldwide including developing and developed countries. They serve as vectors of several diseases of human and veterinary importance, including anaplasmosis, babesiosis, ehrlichiosis, Lyme borreliosis, theileriosis, tick-borne encephalitis and many others. Tick control is, at present, largely based...

Impact of modified temperature and precipitation regime on soil microorganisms and carbon cycling in arable soils (Project)

Carbon cycling in terrestrial ecosystems provides a feedback mechanism to climate change by releasing or sequestering additional atmospheric CO2. However, the response of terrestrial carbon cycling to the interactive effects of a changing temperature and precipitation regime is still unclear. This project aims to relate soil organic carbon turnover under a modified climate to microbial abundance,...

Impact of earthworm ecotypes on microbial carbon- and nitrogen-transformations in the earthworm gut (Project)

Up to approximately 50% of soil-emitted nitrous oxide (N2O) might be derived from earthworms, a soil macrofauna that ingests soil microbial biomes. In the previous funding period, synergistic links were established between ingested denitrifiers and the emission of N2O and dinitrogen (N2) by earthworms. The new objectives (in abstracted form) are: to determine if earthworms emit nitric oxide (NO);...
