Hence, their activity is constrained by soil hydromechanical conditions that permit deformation at earthworm’s maximal hydroskeletal pressure (≈200kPa). Earthworms use their flexible hydroskeleton to burrow and expand biopores. ![]() Earthworm activity modifies soil structure and promotes important hydrological ecosystem functions for agricultural systems. ![]()
