Tell a Story About Your Soil from “A Worm’s Eye View”

Soil, as the foundation of ecosystems and an essential for life, plays a vital role in our planet’s sustainability. Urban soil and soil resources in cities are important components of urban ecosystems, serving essential functions such as water regulation, carbon storage, and biodiversity support. Studying and monitoring soil health are vital for maintaining its quality for future generations. This lab activity focuses on compiling and analyzing soil test results obtained throughout the guide. Participants are encouraged to create a creative story or visual representation from a worm’s perspective, considering the soil characteristics and test results. The activity aims to reflect on soil quality, identify problems, propose solutions, and choose suitable plants for specific soil types, promoting healthier and more biodiverse soil ecosystems.
