Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate short-term earthworm-induced changes in the availability of metals applied to soil directly (metal-spiked) or via an organic matrix (sludge-amended). A laboratory experiment was performed using destructive sampling of microcosms filled with agricultural soil. A concentration gradient of industrial sludge contaminated predominantly with Cr, Cu, Ni, and Zn, and a soil freshly spiked with the same metal concentrations were applied on top of the soil columns. Individuals of Dendrobaena veneta (mimicking a realistic density of 500 earthworms per m
