Dear readers,
I am seeking the assistance of those who know of any mathematical models
describing the population dynamics of Eisenia fetida or other species in
vermicomposting systems.
I am aware of only two models in the literature. The first is by M.J.
Mitchell entitled 'A simulation model of earthworm growth and populatoin
dynamics: application to organic waste conversion' in Earthworm Ecology:
from Darwin to Vermiculture, J.E. Satchell (ed.). Secondly, I.R. Jefferies
and E. Audsley 'A population model for the earthworm Eisenia fetida' in
Earthworms in waste and environmental management, C.A. Edwards and E.F.
Neuhauser (eds.)
I would appreciate an e-mail if anyone has heard of other published models
in the literature.
Many thanks for your assistance.
Michael Taylor.
