  abstract = {{I}n {N}orthern {V}ietnam, organic fertilization programmes are being tested to restore soil fertility and reduce soil erosion. {H}owever, the amendment of organic matter in soil is also associated with the development of the invasive earthworm species {D}ichogaster bolaui. {T}he objective of this study was to investigate the influence of organic matter amendment quality (compost vs. vermicompost) on {D}. bolaui. {O}ur study confirmed {D}. bolaui development in organic patches in the field. {H}owever, we also observed that the flat-backed millipede {A}siomorpha coarctata proliferated in these organic patches. {N}ative to {A}sia, this millipede species is also considered as invasive in {A}merica. {B}oth {D}. bolaui and {A}. coarctata more rapidly colonized compost than vermicompost patches. {A} laboratory experiment confirmed this trend and showed the limited development of {D}. bolaui in vermicompost. {T}his is probably because of the decreased palatability of this substrate to soil fauna. {I}n conclusion, any restoration practice that aims to increase the organic stocks in soils degraded by erosion should consider the quality of the organic amendment. {I}n {N}orthern {V}ietnam, vermicompost may be the preferred substrate for restoring soils while limiting the spread of {D}. bolaui.},
