There is documentation that Eurpoean earthworms are changing the biology of
forests in Canada from fungal dominated to bacterial dominated (something
Lumbricus seems to do). As the soils become bacterial, the trees die.

but the conviction that what we are doing makes sense, no matter how things
turn out." -- Vaclav Havel, former President of the Czech Republic
