Collembola switch diet in presence of plant roots thereby functioning as herbivores. (2009, background): “In fact, Collembola increase plant nutrient contents but the effect varies between plant species and functional groups (Scheu et al., 1999; Kreuzer et al., 2004; Partsch et al., 2006).”
Earthworms (Lumbricus terrestris) affect plant seedling recruitment and microhabitat heterogeneity (2006, unknown): “Key-words : anecic earthworms, Lumbricidae, regeneration niche, seed size, secondary seed dispersal Functional Ecology (2006) 20 , 261–268 doi: 10.1111/j.1365-2435.2006.01098.x”
