Pandora's Box Contained Bait : The Global Problem of Introduced Earthworms (2008, background): “Undisturbed soils occupied by native earthworms may exclude exotic species (e.g., Wood et al. 1997), but coexistence of native and exotic species, however transient it may be, has been reported in a number of locations (e.g., Callaham et al. 2003, Grosso et al. 2006, Hendrix et al. 2006).”
Tree species traits cause divergence in soil acidification during four decades of postagricultural forest development (2012, background): “© 2011 Blackwell Publishing Ltd, Global Change Biology, 18, 1127–1140 chemical applications carried out in farmlands are pernicious for earthworms (Edwards et al., 1995; Callaham et al., 2003).”
Soil fauna responses to natural disturbances, invasive species, and global climate change: Current state of the science and a call to action (2017, background): “Similarly, earthworms can exhibit temporary decreases in abundance following fires (Callaham et al., 2003a,b; Malmstr€om et al., 2009; Neumann and Tolhurst, 1991; Sileshi and Mafongoya, 2006), and earthworm responses to fire highlight the importance of the overall fire regime.”
Responses of invertebrate trophic level, feeding guild and body size to the management of improved grassland field margins (2009, background): “The observed trend of increasing species richness in response to NPK fertilizer is not, though, without precedent (Callaham et al. 2003).”
