![]() ![]() We used stable isotope enrichment to trace the fate of shoot and root litter in intact earthworm cast samples. Due to the complex microscale architecture of casts, understanding the mechanisms of cast formation and development at a process relevant scale, i.e., within microaggregates and at the interface between plant residues, microorganisms and mineral particles, remains challenging. Earthworm casts represent hot spots for carbon turnover and formation of biogeochemical interfaces in soils. 5Institute of Biochemical Plant Pathology, Helmholtz Zentrum München, German Research Center for Environmental Health, Neuherberg, GermanyĮarthworms play a major role in litter decomposition, in processing soil organic matter and driving soil structure formation.4Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle, Sorbonne Université, UMR CNRS 7590, IRD, Institut de Minéralogie, de Physique des Matériaux et de Cosmochimie, IMPMC, Paris, France. ![]() 3INRA, LSE, Université de Lorraine, Nancy, France.2Lehrstuhl für Bodenkunde, TU München, Freising, Germany.1UMR Milieux Environnementaux, Transferts et Interactions dans les Hydrosystèmes et les Sols (METIS), Sorbonne Université CNRS-EPHE, Paris, France.Mueller 2, Thanh-Thuy Nguyen Tu 1, Franz Buegger 5, Sylvie Derenne 1 and Katell Quenea 1 Alix Vidal 1,2 *, Francoise Watteau 3, Laurent Remusat 4, Carsten W.
