    Lab
    How do earthworms influence soil structure? Students observe and discuss how worms ingest soil, break down organic matter, and eject material as surface or sub-surface casts. Also discussed is the formation of water-stable aggregates, the aeration of the soil, and the improvement of soil water-holding capacity.
