Answer 2

Answer:

Soil micro-arthropods include small invertebrate animals with a exoskeleton and segmented body that are visible to the human eye with some magnification for identification.

Among soil micro-arthropods, springtails (Collembola) and mites (Acari) play a primary role in the recycling of nutrients within terrestrial ecosystems.

In particular, they are consumers of microbes such as bacteria and fungi. In fact, their feeding activity is better described as ‘grazing’. Through this grazing they stimulate microbial activity and contribute to the mineralization of nitrogen and thereby to plant growth. As such they play an important role in soil fertility.
