According to the article that's at the second link I posted, the researchers don't just theorize that the worms eat the leaf litter at a rapid rate, they've measured it. Read the paragraph that begins "Gundale suspected..." in the second article.

Read the article again. The scientists proved that the worms are capable of eating leaves and plant matter, not that this is common behavior for them in the wild.
