| description | After three decades of investigation in the field of vermicomposting the scope of this biotreatment of organic residues has been greatly amplified. New findings into life cycles and optimal growth conditions of species already used, added to the introduction of new species from different ecological categories capable of processing different types of residues have made this possible. The majority of these new species come from tropical regions, where the development of vermicomposting is promising, given the current problems in the treatment and management of these residues, and limited funding. Moreover, the use of local endemic species appears to be a good alternative as they are well adapted to local environmental conditions. The aim of this review is to compile and update the knowledge related to life cycles and environmental limitations of the earthworm species suitable for the vermicomposting process. |

After three decades of investigation in the field of vermicomposting the scope of this biotreatment of organic residues has been greatly amplified. New findings into life cycles and optimal growth conditions of species already used, added to the introduction of new species from different ecological categories capable of processing different types of residues have made this possible. The majority of these new species come from tropical regions, where the development of vermicomposting is promising, given the current problems in the treatment and management of these residues, and limited funding.

Después de casi tres décadas de investigación en el campo del vermicompostaje, su aplicación como alternativa metodológica para el tratamiento de residuos orgánicos ha incrementado de forma considerable. Los nuevos conocimientos de los ciclos de vida y de las condiciones óptimas de crecimiento de especies ya utilizadas, así como la inclusión de nuevas especies de categorías ecológicas diferentes a las habituales, capaces de procesar distintos tipos de residuos, han ampliado el marco de actuación del vermicompostaje en el tratamiento y gestión de estos residuos. La mayor parte de estas nuevas especies proceden de zonas tropicales donde el desarrollo del vermicompostaje es prometedor, considerando los problemas actuales del tratamiento y gestión de los residuos y la ausencia de financiación. Además, el uso de especies locales endémicas parece ser una buena alternativa, ya que están bien adaptadas a las condiciones locales. Esta revisión pretende recopilar y actualizar el conocimiento de los ciclos de vida y de las limitaciones ambientales de las lombrices de tierra aptas para el proceso de vermicompostaje Instituto de Ecología, A.C. 2010-08-10 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Original articles Artículos originales application/pdf https://azm.ojs.inecol.mx/index.php/azm/article/view/896 10.21829/azm.2010.262896 ACTA ZOOLÓGICA MEXICANA (N.S.); Vol. 26 (2010): Número especial 2; 309-320 ACTA ZOOLÓGICA MEXICANA (N.S.); Vol. 26 (2010): Número especial 2; 309-320 2448-8445 0065-1737 spa https://azm.ojs.inecol.mx/index.php/azm/article/view/896/1064 Derechos de autor 2010 ACTA ZOOLÓGICA MEXICANA (N.S.) http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 |
