Abstract
En 中文
• Lumbricus terrestris were only found in farmyard manure (FYM) across cropping systems. • All earthworm parameters were higher for FYM than mineral fertiliser or unfertilised. • Endogeic earthworm abundance was higher for crop rotation (CR) than monoculture (MC). • Soil organic carbon was highest for FYM and higher for MC than CR. • Litter decomposition rate was highest for FYM-CR and higher for CR than MC.
