Worms, particularly European earthworms, were introduced to North America in the 17th and 18th centuries primarily through European settlers who brought them for agricultural purposes and gardening. These worms likely arrived in soil used for planting or in cargo holds of ships. Over time, they spread across the continent, often outcompeting native species and altering ecosystems. The introduction of these non-native worms has had significant impacts on soil health and forest ecosystems in North America.
