Description
Salah-Eddine Laasli and co-authors use tiny soil worms to gauge soil health in Moroccan olive farms in a 2024 study. Nematodes steer soil life and can signal disturbance. The team surveyed 65 olive fields and nurseries across seven regions in the 2023 season and sorted the worms by feeding type.
They found 63 genera: plant feeders and bacteria feeders were the largest groups, with fungus feeders, omnivores, and predators behind. Most soils showed low to moderate disturbance with maturing food webs. A few stood out as disturbed and bacteria rich. Bacterial feeders marked calm soils, while plant feeders marked disturbed ones.
