An Assessment of Earthworm as Bioindicator for Heavy Metal Contamination in Pasture Land Adjacent To A Highway

The present study showed that Perionyx excavatus, Pontoscolex corethrurus, Amynthas gracilis, Dichogaster bolaui and Eudrilus euginiae could be found in UPM pasture land, with the horizontal burrower, P. corethrurus as the most common species. Metal concentrations in soil at different distances were...
