Channel: The Queen's College, Oxford
Date: 2021-02-07

The species with the biggest biomass in any garden is almost certainly the earthworm. These humble denizens of our soil provide essential services by turning over soil and promoting plant growth. Professor Peter Holland explains why Darwin found them so fascinating and Lindsay explains how their muscles work, allowing them to escape from birds, no matter how early they turn up.

Dr Lindsay Turnbull is an Associate Professor and Fellow in Plant Sciences at The Queen's College, University of Oxford.
