Echinopsis Cactus Flowers Blooming
The still images and timelapse videos/animated GIFS you’ll find here show Echinopsis cactus flowers blooming, wilting, and just generally strutting their amazing stuff.
While many types of cacti have wonderful flowers, I hope you’ll soon agree that the Echinopsis family of cacti rules the roost.

Bioturbation with and without soil fauna Video / Author: @Wim van Egmond (aka: Compositing)
Bioturbation is the mixing of (plant) residues into soils and sediments by biotic activity. It is one of the fundamental processes in ecology, as it stimulates decomposition, creates habitats for other (micro)fauna and increases gas- and water flow through the soil. Here you can see a system without (left) and with (right) soil fauna such as earthworms, potworms, collembola, mites and isopods over a 15 weeks period. During this period, whereas only small fungal activity can be seen on the left side, the layer of leaves on the right side is almost completely incorporated in the soil due to the interaction between microbes, microfauna and mesofauna. This video is part of the Soil Life in Action project. The movie can be used for education. For other use please contact us. © Wim van Egmond 2017

Bioturbation - Worms at Work
Bioturbation is the mixing of (plant) residues into soils and sediments by biotic activity. It is one of the fundamental processes in ecology, as it stimulates decomposition, creates habitats for other (micro)fauna and increases gas- and water flow through the soil. This time lapse movie shows bioturbation by 3 earthworms species: - Lumbricus terrestris (an ’anecic’ earthworm, feeding on leaves and living in deep vertical burrows; 2 individuals present) - Lumbricus rubellus (an ’epigeic’ earthworm, feeding on leaves and living in shallow, non-permanent burrows; 2 individuals present) - Aporrectodea caliginosa (an ‘endogeic’ earthworm, feeding on decomposed organic matter and living deeper in the soil; 3 individuals present). Poplar leaves were applied on top of the soil as food for the earthworms. Different soil layers were simulated by mixing a topsoil (rich in organic matter) with quartz sand in various ratios. The recording lasted 1 month. This movie was made in collaboration with scientists from the Department of Soil Quality of Wageningen University, The Netherlands. Soil screening: I.M. Lubbers & J.W. van Groenigen Marie Curie Alumni: G.B. De Deyn Microphonography: Urban Utan Time lapse photography © Wim van Egmond - 2014 With the support of the Marie Curie Alumni Association
