The Importance of Microfauna in Ecosystems
Microfauna refers to the small, microscopic organisms that live in a particular environment or ecosystem. These organisms can include bacteria, archaea, protists, fungi, and other tiny multicellular organisms. Microfauna are an important component of many ecosystems, playing key roles in nutrient cycling, decomposition, and the food web. They can also be indicators of environmental health and can provide valuable information about the state of an ecosystem.
