Soil fauna responses to natural disturbances, invasive species, and global climate change: Current state of the science and a call to action (2017, background): “In parts of the Great Lakes Region of North America, several species of invasive root-feeding weevils were numerically dominant, accounting for >99% of all weevils, and >74% of all root-feeding fauna (Coyle et al., 2012; Pinski et al., 2005); these data suggest possible displacement of native rhizop”
Black, Grey and Watch Lists of alien species in the Czech Republic based on environmental impacts and management strategy (2016, background): “Addison (2008) cited references documenting earthworms under fairly acidic conditions: D. octaedra has been found in areas of Canada with a pH as low as 2.8-3.6; Dd. rubidus and L. terrestris have been recorded in areas with pH of 3.0-3.4, suggesting that even low impact sites on KNWR were well…”
Necrobiome Framework for Bridging Decomposition Ecology of Autotrophically and Heterotrophically Derived Organic Matter (2018, background): “The importance of earthworms as decomposers was illustrated by the dramatic loss of leaf litter depth following their introduction into formerly earthworm-free (due to glaciation) forests (Addison 2009).”
