Survey reveals moderate soil mesofauna diversity in paddy fields, suggesting sustainable practices for better biodiversity.

Moderate soil mesofauna diversity was observed, with a Shannon-Wiener index averaging 1.52 indicating varied species richness.
A total of 820 individuals from 13 species were recorded, with *Solenopsis invicta* being the most prevalent at 332 individuals.
Environmental conditions were generally favorable, but humidity fluctuations could potentially disrupt mesofauna populations.
Recommendations include reducing pesticide use to enhance soil biodiversity and maintain ecosystem health.

Numa et al. (2025) studied this question.
