Rameal Chipped Wood as a tool for soil temperature regulation

Abstract

The objective of our work is to study the influence of Rameal Chipped Wood (FCW) and cattle manure in the presence and absence of earthworms Octodrilus complanatus on the regulation of soil temperature of a sandy loam soil. The study station is located in a semi-arid zone (Constantine, Algeria). The results obtained show that the contribution of FCW cattle manure in the presence and absence of earthworms Octodrilus complanatus has a beneficial effect on soil temperature.
