New research in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula shows how invasive earthworms are changing forest soils  

New research in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula shows how invasive earthworms are changing forest soils  
Great Lakes Echo

By Georgia Hill

Scientists studying the body size and growth patterns of non-native earthworms in the UP’s Huron Mountains say they are disrupting forest ecosystems. Contrary to popular belief, most North American earthworms are invaders unintentionally introduced during European colonization. They have a significant impact on ecosystems, especially in the Great Lakes region where they affect soil structure, nutrient cycling and biodiversity.

Swiss researcher studies ‘abandonment tourism’ in Detroit

By Camila Bello Castro

A recent case study of a former “abandonment tourism” business in Detroit found a disconnect between the lived experience of many city residents and the lives of the tour participants who were generally white, younger and more international than most Detroiters and generally first-time visitors to the city.
