A schematic illustration of invasive earthworm effects on ecosystems that were free of earthworms (left figure). Because of earthworm’s soil burrowing and litter feeding activities, earthworm-free ecosystems are dramatically altered after earthworm invasion. Previous meta-analyses have revealed shifts in plant communities in response to invasive earthworms, whereas earthworm effects are also known to enhance greenhouse gas emissions and N-leaching.
