Which habitat alteration occurs when earthworm introduction causes changed soil structure?

💡 Explanation

Reduced complexity of nutrients is a consequence of bioturbation because homogenisation occurs due mixing by the earthworms, therefore stratification decreases, impeding niche differentiation, creating exclusion zones near non-adapted species, rather than aeration effects.
