Step 2: Find and choose soil organisms

Choose at least one organism from several of the categories below:

  • a decomposer;
  • an animal with legs;
  • an organism that creates tunnels or modifies soil structure;
  • an organism associated with leaf litter or organic matter;
  • a very small organism (microscopic or barely visible to the naked eye);
  • an organism connected to plant roots.

You can select familiar organisms or explore species you have never heard of before.
