In this work, a mixture of pig manure and ¹³C-labeled rice straw was vermicomposted with Eisenia fetida for 40 days. The results showed that after they acclimated to the vermicomposting environment, the earthworms helped to degrade the substrate residues. After 40 days, the vermicomposting led to much higher pH, EC, C/N, available K, available P, available Zn, and CEC values but much lower available N and available Cu values in the substrate residues compared to the initial values. The earthworms accumulated ¹³C, Cu, and Zn with a heavy metal enrichment capacity in the order of Cu > Zn. Furthermore, the correlation analysis showed that the Cu and Zn content in the DOM was mainly controlled by the Cu and Zn content in the pig manure. The earthworms accumulated Cu and Zn by feeding on the substrate residues, but the DOM from the ¹³C-labeled rice straw helped to extract Zn from the substrate residues and promoted the migration of Zn into the earthworm tissues and/or DOM. Moreover, the characterization of the DOM extracted from the substrate residues revealed a decrease in the content of the aliphatic alcohols or polysaccharide-like substances and an increase in the aromatic compounds and fulvic or humic acid-like substances in the DOM as the vermicomposting time increased. This indicated that the higher humification degree in the DOM caused by vermicomposting contributed to the increased mobility of Zn in the substrate residues and helped Zn migrate into the earthworms or DOM.
