Soil Food Web

The Soil Food Web is a complex network of organisms in the soil that interact to break down organic matter and recycle nutrients. It includes a variety of life forms, such as bacteria, fungi, tiny animals, and plants. Bacteria and fungi decompose dead plants and animals, while larger organisms like earthworms and insects contribute by aerating the soil and further breaking down materials. This web of life helps create healthy soil, which is essential for growing plants and supporting ecosystems. Healthy soil supports agriculture, natural habitats, and plays a crucial role in the Earth's carbon cycle.
