A Teaspoon Of Soil Contains More Living Organisms Than There Are People On Earth
Question: How many organisms are living inside soil?
Answer: The soil is an ecosystem in which millions of living creatures live and interact. There can be more creatures in a teaspoonful of good quality soil than there are people in the entire planet earth, i.e. more than 6+ billion. That’s truly amazing! Not only are the numbers of creatures large but there are also many different types of creature. This is partly because the soil is the source of many different types of food for these creatures and is also the source of their nutrition and water.
There is a very huge range of organisms in the soil varying in size from protozoa which require the strongest of microscopes to see them, up to large burrowing animals such as badgers and rabbits which live part of the time in the soil and part of it on the soil surface.
