1 Earthworm communities in relation to agricultural management in a landscape context Joana Frazão, Mirjam Pulleman, Jack Faber, Jeroen Groot, Lijbert Brussaard 9 th April 2015
2 Earthworms in arable systems Functional group Soil processes Lumbricus rubellus Epigeics (strooiseleters) Decomposition Lumbricus terrestris Anecics (pendelaars) Nutrient cycle Aporrectodea caliginosa Endogeics (grondeters) Soil structure (pores and aggregates) Based on Keith & Robinson, 2012
3 Main questions of my work A) Effect of soil properties, arable management and surrounding landscape on earthworm communities in arable fields/field margins Survey in the Hoeksche Waard B) Influence of residue availability on local earthworm communities, on introduced L. terrestris and their interactions in conventionally and non inversion tilled fields Field experiment in the Hoeksche Waard C) Further understanding (under controlled conditions) of species performance and behaviour as affected by residue placement Laboratory experiment with dominant species from each functional group
4 Main questions of my work A) Effect of soil properties, arable management and surrounding landscape on earthworm communities in arable fields/field margins Survey in the Hoeksche Waard
5 A) Survey in an arable landscape Hoekse Waard Crop Horticulture Grassland Orchard Nature Sample point 26 fields, 15 margin grass or grass herb Earthworm samples (6/field; 4/margin) Soil samples (Ntotal, ph, moisture, LOI, soil texture) Management past 5 years (residue management, tillage, crop types/rotation)
6 A) Survey: Preliminary results Earthworm abundance (ind/m2) Total abundance Margin CT NIT Earthworm biomass (g/m2) Total biomass Margin CT NIT Species richness Richness Margin CT NIT 600 Strooiseleter abund. 250 Pendelaar abund Grondeter abund. Epigeic abundance (ind/m2) Anecic abundance (ind/m2) Endogeic abundance (ind/m2) Margin CT NIT 0 Margin CT NIT 0 Margin CT NIT
7 A) Survey: Next steps Proportion of land-use types within radii of 50, 100, 250 and 500m from sample point Management activities (present and past) Soil properties Multivariate analysis Understand relative importance of the 3 drivers in shaping EW communities in fields and margins Data analysis in progress...
8 Main questions of my work B) Influence of residue availability on local earthworm communities, on introduced L. terrestris and their interactions in conventionally and non inversion tilled fields Field experiment in the Hoeksche Waard
9 B) Field experiment Site: PPO Westmaas, Hoeksche Waard 1 CT; 1 NIT 24 plots created in each field (6x6m) Manipulations: EW community: L. terrestris introduced in half of the plots in each field (20 ind/m2) Food position in CT Food quantity in NIT
10 2 sampling campaigns completed in planned for fall 2015 Work in progress...
11 Main questions of my work C) Further understanding (under controlled conditions) species performance and behaviour as affected by residue placement Laboratory experiment with dominant species from each functional group
12 C) Lab experiment Species: - L. terrestris (pendelaar) - A. caliginosa (grondeter) - L. rubellus (strooiseleter) - L.terrestris + A. caliginosa - L.terrestris + L. rubellus Food - Winter wheat stubble and straw + radish Data analysis in progress...
13 Experiments expected results will aid on... Understanding if residue management improves earthworm communties in arable fields Understanding if it is feasible to introduce anecic species, and necessary management adaptations Understanding the effects of residue placement on earthworm performance (single, multi species) earthworm burrowing behaviour
