Through their sensitivity detectors and by way of their passage forming movements earthworms [of the Lumbricina suborder] locate the humus enriched areas of otherwise infertile soil. Humus refers to the dark brown, fresh smelling, nutrient rich organic matter in soil. Its formation occurs naturally with the breakdown of dead and decaying animal and plant matter within soil. So earthworms have chemically related senses of where humus is. They can pick humus out from a crowd of competing living and non living dwellers of the underground. Additionally, they're sources of humus themselves through their waste products, which are often nitrogen rich.

How much fertility in soil has to be lost before the soil can be considered infertile?

There is no specific threshold for when soil is considered infertile, as fertility is influenced by a variety of factors including nutrient content, pH levels, and organic matter. Generally, if a soil's fertility has declined significantly and cannot support plant growth without added inputs such as fertilizers, it may be considered infertile. Soil tests and monitoring plant growth can help determine fertility levels.
