Seed Dispersal by Earthworms
Earthworms are important for soil biology and carbon cycle, and for plant dispersal. Recent studies by Nico Eisenhauer et al. (2008, 2009) highlight that endogeic earthworms are efficient seed dispersers, and may strongly impact the composition of the soil seed bank as well as that of plant community composition.
