Article Synopsis
  • Priming effect (PE) enhances the mineralization of soil organic matter (SOM) when fresh organic matter is added, impacting agricultural soil management, particularly in tropical regions.
  • Earthworms, particularly endogeic species like Pontoscolex corethrurus, play a significant role in this process by processing soil and introducing microorganisms that can stimulate SOM dynamics.
  • A study conducted in Madagascar demonstrated that earthworms can increase PE intensity in tropical soils, specifically by stimulating bacterial groups from the Bacteroidetes phylum, which enhances the breakdown of organic residues like wheat straw.
