Living organisms help the soil in the following ways:

Return nutrients to the soil

Make the soil aerated and porous

How do living organisms help the soil?

Living organisms are found inhabiting the soil and in turn confer various benefits on the soil.

These benefits help the soil and make it more suitable for agricultural practices.

Living organisms such as earthworms make the soil porous for aeration when they burrow into the soil.

Microorganisms also degrade organic compounds and release the nutrients into the soil.

Answer:

Freshwater wetland biome

Explanation:

Wetlands are defined as those areas where the land area is mostly covered by water seasonally or annually. The areas remain wet. Freshwater wetlands are a type of biome that is not connected to the ocean. They are found mainly along the boundaries of rivers, streams, and lakes. The water in the freshwater wetland is generally evaporated during the summer season.

This biome is highly rich in nutrients that provide a favorable site for the existence of numerous plants and animal species. The leaves that are detached from the trees are deposited within the soils and also captures and accumulates the organic materials that are eliminated from the large trees within this region.

shtirl [24]

The common characteristic of those two organisms is hard spherical shells (exoskeleton).

Foraminiferans are single cell marine eukaryotes divided into granular endoplasm and transparent ectoplasm. Foraminiferans are enveloped with tests, hard shells, usually composed of calcium carbonate (sometimes from organic compounds or silica).

Coccolithophore is a unicellular, eukaryotic alga with special calcium carbonate plates (or scales) of uncertain function (coccoliths). Each unicellular alga is enclosed in its own collection of coccoliths, the which make up its exoskeleton- coccosphere.
