Distribution and impacts of invasive earthworms in Canadian forest ecosystems (2008, background): “Earthworms and mycorrhizae There have been few studies on the interaction between earthworms and mycorrhizae, and most have focussed on arbuscular mycorrhizae (McLean et al. 2006).”
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).”
