Summary: Coprolites are fecal structures produced by earthworms, formed from the digestion of organic substrates that stimulate soil microbial activity. Although earthworms are fundamental to the biological quality of the soil, their effects on tropical agroecosystems are still poorly understood, especially when considering their impact on different land use systems.
