Soil aggregates are known to increase under no-tillage management (NT). We hypothesized that earthworm activity increase soil carbon (C), and investigated the effect of earthworm activity on soil aggregate size (>1 mm: L, 1 mm) composed approximately 80% of the total soil, reflecting NT and accumulation of earthworm casts (>1 mm). The winter cover crop Secale cereale L at NC and earthworms and weeds Digitaria ciliaris (Retz.) Koel at NF had Delta C-14 values of 30.1 parts per thousand, 35.3 parts per thousand, and 41.9 parts per thousand, respectively. Earthworms incorporated C recently fixed by plants, whereas all soil samples showed negative Delta C-14 values (
