Pulleman, M.M., Six, J., Uyl, A., Marinissen, J.C.Y., Jongmans, A.G.
Through their feeding activities and cast production, earthworms influence both aggregate turnover and soil organic matter (SOM) dynamics. We studied the impact of earthworm activity on soil macro-...
Nierop, K.G.J., Pulleman, M.M., Marinissen, J.C.Y.
Differences in agricultural management and land use lead to differences in soil structure, soil organic matter (SOM) dynamics and composition. We investigated the SOM composition at three depth...
Physical protection of mineralizable C in aggregates from long-term pasture and arable soil (2004)
Pulleman, M.M., Marinissen, J.C.Y.
Depending on agricultural management, soil aggregation can provide physical protection of organic matter against rapid decomposition. Within a given soil series, farm management affects the quality...
Jongmans, A.G., Pulleman, M.M., Balabane, M., Marinissen, J.C.Y.
By consuming plant remains and soil, earthworms incorporate organic matter (OM) into the soil and form biogenic soil structures, which can affect OM dynamics. We carried out a (micro)morphological...
Soil structure and earthworm activity in an marine silt loam under pasture versus arable land (2001)
Jongmans, A.G., Pulleman, M.M., Marinissen, J.C.Y.
Agricultural management influences soil organic matter (SOM) and earthworm activity which interact with soil structure. We aimed to describe the change in earthworm activity and related soil...
Soil organic matter distribution as influenced by enchytraeid and earthworm activity (2001)
Koutika, L.S., Didden, W.A.M., Marinissen, J.C.Y.
Loam and sandy soils, and the earthworm casts produced with 14C-labelled plant material in both soils, were incubated in airtight glass vessels with and without enchytraeids to evaluate the effects...
Soil (micro)structure and earthworm activity in a marine silt loam under different management (1999)
Organic matter dynamics are affected by microbial activity in biogenic aggregates (1998)
Marinissen, J.C.Y., Winding, A., Hendriksen, N.B., Pulleman, M.M.
Marinissen, J.C.Y., Hillenaar, S.I.
To study the influence of soil structure on organic matter decomposition, and the possible role of earthworms therein, aggregates of the size of earthworm casts (3-4.8 mm) were sieved from air-dry...
Marinissen, J.C.Y., Didden, W.A.M.
Enchytraeid worms were kept in 0.3 mm (including the casts) was larger in the presence of enchytraeid worms, at the cost of soil from the fraction 0.3 0.03 mm. The %C in both soils was highest in...
Clay dispersability in moist earthworm casts of different soils. (1996)
Marinissen, J.C.Y., Nijhuis, E.
Earthworms were fed soil from two polders, differing in soil age and land use (grass and arable). Sterilised and non-sterilised moist earthworm casts were, directly or after ageing (for 2, 4, 8 and...
