reply Invasive species of earthworms from the suborder Lumbricina have been
expanding their range in North America. . . . Their introduction to North
America has had marked effects on the nutrient cycles and soil profiles in
temperate forests. . . . Some species of trees and other plants may be
incapable of surviving such changes in available nutrients. This change in
the plant diversity in turn affects other organisms and often leads to
increased invasions of other exotic species as well as overall forest
decline. They are considered one of the most invasive animals in the
Midwestern United States along with feral swine.
