Laboratory experiments were conducted to examine the growth and reproduction of three deep-burrowing lumbricids, Aporrectodea longa, Lumbricus terrestris, and Octolasion cyaneum. The reproductive output was recorded as 18.8, 38.0, and 32.3 cocoons per worm per year for A. longa, L. terrestris, and O
Nanometer-sized titanium dioxide (nano-TiO 2 ) is found in a number of commercial products; however, its effects on soil biota are largely unknown. In the present study, earthworms (Eisenia andrei and Eisenia fetida) were exposed to three types of commercially available, uncoated TiO 2 nanomaterials
## Abstract Polluted soil sampled from a former coking plant in Lorraine (France) was studied for its genotoxicity and reproductive effects on the __Eisenia fetida__ earthworm. Genotoxicity was investigated by means of the singleβcell gel electrophoresis (comet) assay on the coelomocytes of earthwo
