Abstract: Soil can be understood as a mixture of unconsolidated material with a solid phase, composed of organic and inorganic matter, a porous phase containing gases and a liquid phase, containing water and soil solution. Currently in the Brazilian Soil Classification System there are 13 soil classes. The presence of fauna, especially earthworms, in different types of soil brings diverse benefits that need to be scientifically elucidated. The objective of this work is to carry out a bibliographical review on the benefits of earthworms (Annelida: Oligochaeta) present in the 13 classes of Brazilian soils. The SCIENCE DIRECT database and the CAPES journal portal were used to obtain the scientific articles that make up the review portfólio. Such data were collected on a 10-year time basis, that is, scientific works produced from 2014 to 2024, obtained through the use of specific terms (keywords). The quantitative analysis was based on the typification of works found in the databases, such as: research articles, review articles, encyclopedias, among others. The qualitative analysis was based on the main contributions and results achieved in the present works found on the topic. Thus, the information was crossed and compiled to prepare this bibliographic review.
