How do ants help bring nutrients to the soil?

Ants contribute to soil nutrient cycling through their activities, such as tunneling and foraging. Their burrowing aerates the soil, improving water infiltration and promoting root growth. Additionally, when ants collect organic matter like dead insects and plant debris, they break it down and facilitate the decomposition process, enriching the soil with nutrients. Furthermore, their waste products, including feces, add organic matter and enhance soil fertility.
