- pvaldes 8y agoMore nematodes and earthworms then. Both compete seriously for the crown of higher biomass on terrestrial invertebrates. Is said in many textbooks of ecology that there are much more Kg of tiny nematodes in an area of forest than Kg of deer. And much more rodents also, of course. We could assume that more or less a half of the biomass of each tree in a temperate forest is under the surface. Number of animals is not a good measure to explain the current situation.
