TL;DR: Exotic earthworms do invade ecosystems inhabited by indigenous earthworms, even in the absence of obvious disturbance, and resistance to exotic earthworm invasions, if it occurs, may be more a function of physical and chemical characteristics of a habitat than of biological interactions between native and exotic earthworms.

TL;DR: The most conspicuous biological inva- sions in terrestrial ecosystems have been by exotic plants, insects and vertebrates. as mentioned in this paper explored the idea that indigenous earthworm fauna and/or characteristics of their characteristics are common in ecosystems inhabited by native earthworms, especially where soils are undisturbed.

TL;DR: The results suggest that interspecific competition has the potential to prevent Ar.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of removing understory vegetation in Pinus ponderosa plantations and found that the suppression of understory species caused a decline in carbon and nitrogen in the soil, even when the microbial community was resilient to the imposed treatments.
