"Ecological Impact: Invasive Earthworms Reshaping North American Ecosystems"
A new study led by Stanford University reveals that the invasion of at least 70 species of non-native earthworms in North America is posing a significant threat to the continent's ecosystems, stressing native plants and wildlife, displacing native earthworm species, and altering soil properties. The study emphasizes the urgent need for attention to this phenomenon and underscores the importance of prevention and early detection in managing the threat posed by invasive earthworms.
