Sentence examples for consuming surface from inspiring English sources

Because seeds were not actively sought out, but rather ingested as a function of consuming surface soil and leaf litter, and because we had no evidence that earthworms preferentially avoided consuming previously ingested soil, we used an exponential decay function (e.g. Manzoni et al. 2012) to estimate seed ingestion in an average year from that observed over the 6 weeks of the experiment.
