Describe the benefits that earthworms provide and the damage that they do

What will be an ideal response?


Earthworms aid in the decomposition of thatch by mixing it with soil. They also burrow through the soil opening channels that allow better air and water penetration. Over time, earthworms mix the soil mass, helping to remove interfaces and incorporating organic matter. Earthworm castings may be aesthetically objectionable on closely-mowed turf such as golf greens and may cause golf putts to go off-course. Where

numbers are large, earthworms can cause the soil to become spongy and uneven, making it difficult to move mowers and other equipment across it.
