Soil organisms play important roles in organic matter decomposition, nutrient cycling, and maintaining soil fertility. This study aimed to identify the presence and diversity of soil organisms in the Green Kayen area, Condongcatur. Microfauna were observed through Rhizobium bacteria in the root nodules of Mimosa pudica, mesofauna were identified from soil samples, and macrofauna were collected using pitfall traps. The results showed the presence of Rhizobium sp., earwigs (Dermaptera), termites (Isoptera), ants (Lasius niger, Monomorium minimum, Tapinoma melanocephalum), spiders (Araneae), fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster), and mosquitoes (Culicidae). The Shannon–Wiener diversity index (H') was 1.482, indicating moderate diversity. Abiotic factors, including air temperature (32.3°C), soil temperature (27°C), and humidity (87%), supported the survival and activity of soil organisms. These findings indicate that the Green Kayen environment remains suitable for sustaining soil biodiversity and ecosystem functions.
