From peds to paradoxes: linkages between soil biota and their influences on ecological processes. (2008, background): “…term, fungal community diversity and richness decreased and dominance among fungi increased, apparently due to the disruption of fungal hyphae, lowered resource availability, and reduced spatial heterogeneity as the organic layers in the forest floor became homogenized (McLean and Parkinson, 2000).”
The influence of invasive earthworms on indigenous fauna in ecosystems previously uninhabited by earthworms (2006, background): “As in other studies, competition for food resources may also contribute to the long-term negative effects of earthworm invasion on microarthropods in this environment (e.g., McLean and Parkinson 1998b, 2000b).”
Earthworm invasions of ecosystems devoid of earthworms: effects on soil microbes (2006, background): “Later in the invasion, fungal community diversity and richness decreased and dominance by one fungal species increased, apparently due to the disruption of fungal hyphae ( McLean and Parkinson 2000 ).”
Earthworm invasion into previously earthworm-free temperate and boreal forests (2006, background): “Changes in soil structure and chemistry and grazing by earthworms lead to changes in the abundance and structure of soil fungal communities (Johnson et al. 1992; McLean and Parkinson 1998b, 2000).”
Effects of biological invasions on forest carbon sequestration (2010, background): “The soil microbial community and soil invertebrates regulate organic matter decomposition rates and thus C and nutrient fluxes, which in turn feed back to influence aboveground communities and primary productivity (Wardle et al., 2004; Fig.”
Influence of earthworm invasion on soil microbial biomass and activity in a northern hardwood forest (2002, background): “Metabolism of that organic matter also may differ due to the influence of earthworm mixing and consumption on fungal communities (McLean and Parkinson, 2000).”
Policy and management responses to earthworm invasions in North America (2006, background): “…introduced, the influence of this earthworm on the forest floor was dramatic in terms of microbial characteristics, changes in the community of other invertebrates, changes in nutrient cycling, and even effects on soil horizonation (Scheu and Parkinson 1994; McLean and Parkinson 2000a, b).”
Detritivorous earthworms directly modify the structure, thus altering the functioning of a microdecomposer food web (2008, background): “It is known that epigeic earthworms can modify the fungal composition of forest soils (McLean and Parkinson, 2000), that they posses a diverse digestive enzyme pool (Lavelle and Spain, 2001), and that their feeding habits rely on microorganisms or organic matter, depending on the species (Scheu and ”
Exotic Earthworm Invasion and Microbial Biomass in Temperate Forest Soils (2004, background): “For example, McLean and Parkinson (2000) used specific cultivation techniques and found that invasion caused significant changes in fungal community composition and dynamics.”
Distribution and impacts of invasive earthworms in Canadian forest ecosystems (2008, background): “The activities of D. octaedra had dramatic impacts on soil structure, chemistry and biodiversity at the aspen and lodgepole pine sites in the Kananaskis Valley (Dymond et al. 1997; McLean and Parkinson 2000a, b).”
Introduced earthworms in agricultural and reclaimed land: their ecology and influences on soil properties, plant production and other soil biota (2006, background): “Similarly, negative interactions between invasive earthworms and microarthropods have been demonstrated in forests (e.g., McLean and Parkinson 1998, 2000; see McLean et al. and Migge-Kleian in this issue), and the excreta, burrows, and organic middens that anecic earthworms create at the surface o”
Invasion of exotic earthworms into ecosystems inhabited by native earthworms (2006, background): “... in tropical forests (Zou and Gonza ´ lez 1997; Zou and Bashkin 1998; Gonza ´ lez and Zou 1999; Fragoso et al. 1999; Liu and Zou 2002; Decae ¨ ns et al. 2004); chaparral shrublands (Graham and Wood 1991; Graham et al. 1995); grasslands (Stockdill 1982; James 1991; Callaham et al. 2001); and parti”
