Earthworm activity and plant residues in the soil can strongly influence soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics. However, studies on how earthworms, especially epigeic and endogeic species alone or together, affect the main soil greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (CO₂ and N₂O) and SOC under the long-term no-till (NT) and conventional tillage (CT) in Mollisols in Northeast China are unclear. The effects of two different species of earthworms (epigeic, Eisenia nordenskioldi; endogeic, Metaphire tschiliensis) on the soil GHG emissions and the SOC content were studied in NT and CT soils in a 337-day mesocosm experiment. The presence of earthworms enhanced the soil cumulative CO₂ and N₂O emissions in both NT and CT soils, and the soil GHG emissions (expressed in terms of the global warming potential, GWP) were increased by 20.43 %–42.99 % in NT soil and by 0–55.62 % in CT soil, respectively. Compared to E. nordenskioldi, the presence of M. tschiliensis (endogeic species) significantly increased soil GHG emissions. Earthworms in NT soil induced less soil GHG emissions than those in CT soil. The presence of earthworms did not increase the SOC content in CT soil but significantly increased the SOC content in NT soil. Our study suggests that earthworms in the long-term no-till soil can contribute to the reduction of soil GHG emissions. This research helps to understand the effects of different ecological categories of earthworms on soil GHG emissions and SOC dynamics under different tillage systems and to mitigate soil GHG emissions.
