Despite the large body of literature on earthworm ecology\, studies that examine the direct role of earthworms on N cycling from the perspective of ecological stoichiomet ry are lacking. This knowledge gap needs to be addressed\, particularly in temperate agroecosystems where earthworms are the dominant soil fauna bas ed on their biomass. This study sought to provide insights into the physio logical mechanisms regulating N stoichiometry in earthworm body\, to bette r understand the stoichiometric interaction between earthworms and their f ood resources at the individual level\, and the implications of crop resid ue quality on earthworm-mediated N dynamics at the agroecosystem level.\n \nEveryone in the 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ community is welcome to attend a PhD oral defense . Please join us in celebrating the accomplishments of our PhD candidates. \n DTSTART:20180228T181500Z DTEND:20180228T181500Z LOCATION:MS2-022 (faculty Lounge)\, Macdonald-Stewart Building\, CA\, QC\, St Anne de Bellevue\, H9X 3V9\, 21111 Lakeshore Road SUMMARY:PhD Oral Defense: Physiological mechanisms for the maintenance of n itrogen stoichiometric homeostasis in earthworms and implications for soil nitrogen dynamics in temperate agroecosystems URL:/macdonald/channels/event/phd-oral-defense-physiol ogical-mechanisms-maintenance-nitrogen-stoichiometric-homeostasis-earthwor ms-284377 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
