Vegetation only on mounds
A forest type where seedlings can only survive on raised earth and result in forestation - only on the raised earth. The soil is clay and seasonal flood kills seedlings. Earthworms accumulate their casts, forming raised earth where seedlins can survive and result in forestation - only on the platforms. dropping of casts maintains and expands the mounds and more forestation - swamp worms for greener earth.
