摘要: Darwin’s observations on earthworms can be regarded as a milestone in our understanding of soil biology and an enormous contribution to some aspects the genesis humus its role soils. This chapter outlines conclusions formation vegetable mould his interpretations nature properties, especially those organic constituents. It discusses modern concepts composition, structure properties substances they play soil, stabilizing aggregates retaining water plant nutrients.
