Earthworms are natural recyclers, breaking down organic matter and converting it into nutrient-rich soil.
They create tunnels that improve soil structure and increase water infiltration, reducing the risk of erosion.
Earthworms release nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium as they digest organic material.
Their movement through soil mixes and aerates it, promoting a healthier habitat for plants and microorganisms.
Earthworm castings (excreted soil) enhance soil fertility by enriching it with essential minerals.
They play a key role in soil health monitoring, helping farmers understand soil quality through earthworm populations.
By decomposing organic material, earthworms facilitate the natural breakdown of pollutants, making ecosystems more resilient.
