Predicting earthworm biogeography and climate-driven shifts on China's Loess Plateau

Puntos clave

• Climate shifts significantly influence earthworm biogeography, affecting local ecosystems and soil health.
• Findings indicate a predicted turnover rate for earthworm species over 10 years due to changing climate conditions.
• Observational analysis across China's Loess Plateau utilized predictive modeling to assess earthworm distribution patterns.
• These results highlight the importance of understanding ecological responses to climate change for biodiversity management.
