et al.‚ 2009). The biodiversity of earthworms is influenced by physical‚ chemical and biological properties of soil and climatic conditions of habitats. Earthworm’s biodiversity is directly affected by soil characteristics (Edwards and Lofty‚ 1977). These community influencing factors are soil pH‚ organic matter‚ nitrogen‚ C/N ratio‚ soil moisture and soil texture. Biodiversity is counted as human resources (Heywood‚ 1996).
