Grass invasion of a hardwood forest is associated with declines in belowground carbon pools (2010, background): “…is often associated with altered N availability and mineralization in soils (Scheu, 1987; Kourtev et al., 1999; Eriksen-Hamel & Whalen, 2008) and may have contributed to changes in N pools in invaded northeastern US forests (Bohlen et al., 2004; Marhan & Scheu, 2006; Eisenhauer et al., 2007).”
Black, Grey and Watch Lists of alien species in the Czech Republic based on environmental impacts and management strategy (2016, background): “Lumbricus spp. distribution sampling Anecic Lumbricus species are potentially more damaging than other genera (Eisenhauer et al. 2007).”
Impacts of exotic invertebrates on New Zealand's indigenous species and ecosystems (2010, background): “…a well-studied invader in a number of ecosystems, particularly northern temperate forests (Bohlen et al. 2004; Frelich et al. 2006; Hendrix 2006; Eisenhauer et al. 2007; Holdsworth et al. 2007), but the impact of exotic invertebrates on decomposition has received comparatively little attention…”
Ecosystem Consequences of Biological Invasions (2010, background): “Bioturbation associated with exotic earthworms (e.g., Addison 2009, Bohlen et al. 2004, Eisenhauer et al. 2007, Hale et al. 2005) and ants (Cammeraat & Risch 2008, DeFauw et al. 2008, Lach & Hooper-B?i 2010) redistributes materials, changing pool sizes within portions of the soil.”

Pandora's Box Contained Bait : The Global Problem of Introduced Earthworms (2008, background): “terrestris Western Palearctic ALLa,b Microarthropods (Eisenhauer et al. 2007)”
Light, earthworms, and soil resources as predictors of diversity of 10 soil invertebrate groups across monocultures of 14 tree species (2016, unknown): “…can lead to lower root biomass due to consumption and soil disturbance (Scheu, 2003), to lower soil organic matter stocks due to consumption and low substrate use ef ﬁ ciency (Eisenhauer et al., 2007), and to dominance of the microbial community by bacteria (Brown, 1995; McLean et al., 2006).”
Earthworm abundance and functional group diversity regulate plant litter decay and soil organic carbon level: A global meta-analysis (2020, background): “All three functional groups of earthworms play a direct role in accelerating the inoculation of microbes onto fresh litter materials through their movements and surface casting activities (Eisenhauer et al., 2007).”
Distribution and impacts of invasive earthworms in Canadian forest ecosystems (2008, background): “More recently O. trytaeum and L. terrestris (Eisenhauer et al. 2007) have invaded the aspen site at Kananaskis, and Parkinson et al. (2004) reported that Aporrectodea spp. were also present in pine forests in the area.”
Impacts of invasive biota in forest ecosystems in an aboveground–belowground context (2017, background): “…can include short term enhancement of plant nutrition and growth (Scheu and Parkinson 1994), but adverse longer term biogeochemical effects and impaired recruitment of forest tree species resulting from the loss of organic matter (Frelich et al. 2006; Eisenhauer et al. 2009; Paudel et al. 2016).”
Macro-invertebrates accelerate litter decomposition and nutrient release in a Hawaiian rainforest (2011, background): “As such, macro-invertebrates are considered ecosystem engineers, species that modify the soil or litter in ways that either promote or constrain the activities of soil microbes and other soil animals (Jones et al., 1994; Chapin et al., 2002; Groffman et al., 2004; Eisenhauer et al., 2007).”
