What benefits do soil animals bring to the soil? Their remains can also add fertilizer

Do you know what benefits soil animals bring and what they can be used for? Would you like to learn about it? Let's take a look together. Maybe it will help you with your planting in the future.

Soil animals cultivate bacteria and fungi, take in and break down residues, and increase soil respiration.

Microfauna are the smallest soil animals and include nematodes and protozoa; this group specializes in tackling soil bacteria and fungi.

Mesofauna are soil animals ranging in length from 0.1 to 2 mm, and they take in litter from the soil. Their feces retain a large amount of water and a larger surface area, which will allow new microorganisms to invade and a greater amount of soil respiration.

Macrofauna are from 2 to 20 mm, such as earthworms and termites. Microorganisms invade most of the large areas of litter fragments exposed by large animals. The burrows or litter intake of other large animals reduce soil density, break up soil aggregates and increase soil aeration and water infiltration.
So soil animals can help the soil increase fertility and can also increase soil respiration. Now you know, right?
