Answer:

It would affect the soil along with water infiltration

Step-by-step explanation:

Earthworms draw more and more debris into their burrows as their populations grow, assisting in the mixing of organic materials into the soil and increasing soil structure and water infiltration. Removing the log would result into a lack of debris from the log which can destroy the soil mixture.
