National Earthworm Recording SchemeJune 3rd, 2016
What species of earthworms do we have in the UK & Ireland? Where are they found? Does the vegetation above the soil make a difference to which earthworms you could expect to find somewhere? Recording data is very useful for answering these questions. If records are collected in a more structured way (such as the ESB Standard Sampling Protocol) this data can also be very useful for helping us to understand more about their ecology: why they are found in different places, what causes the differences in populations and how they are changing. This can help inform conservation of earthworms, and highlight changes in distributions if recorded over a longer time period and at a wide spatial scale.
