Which outcome occurs when invasive earthworms alter forested soil?

💡 Explanation

Invasive earthworm bioturbation disrupts forest soil horizons. Destabilization allows pathogens to thrive; therefore, seed germination plummets because the changed soil environment impairs seedling establishment, rather than benefiting plant growth or altering overall carbon storage noticeably.
