Darwin (1881) was the first to observe and offer a scientific explanation of their true role in the ecosystem and his conclusions led to an upsurge of interest in earthworms from the late nineteenth century onwards (Vejdovsky 1884; Beddard 1895, 1912; Michaelsen 1900; Stephenson 1923, 1930; and Bahl 1950).
