The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Spatial variability of an invasive earthworm (Amynthas agrestis) population and potential impacts on soil characteristics and millipedes in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, USA (2011, background): “2006), as well as the type and distribution of soil aggregates (Bossuyt et al. 2006; Haynes et al. 2003).”
Earthworm abundance and functional group diversity regulate plant litter decay and soil organic carbon level: A global meta-analysis (2020, background): “Earthworm species from di ﬀ erent functional groups di ﬀ erently a ﬀ ect soil aggregation and the accumulation of new C, and interactive e ﬀ ects occur when they are both present (Bossuyt et al., 2006).”
The Ecology of Soil Carbon: Pools, Vulnerabilities, and Biotic and Abiotic Controls (2017, background): “Earthworm feeding, digestion, transportation, and casting in aggregates move aboveground inputs belowground (Bossuyt et al. 2006), which may in turn move litter residues more quickly into more stable mineral-associated carbon pools.”
