Italian to English Science Tourism & Travel testo rivolto ai turisti
(contesto)
Passeggiando lungo il percorso non sarà difficile notare questi ***piccoli motori del bosco***: funghi e alcuni invertebrati che, insieme ai batteri, hanno tutti un ruolo fondamentale per la costruzione del suolo fertile.

heart an soul of the forrest

piccoli motori per me è la stessa cosa che il cuore e l’alma della foresta or del bosco. No tradurrebe o tradirebbe ''piccoli'' in ogni caso, poichè in fato e secondo i miei pensieri si tratta di ''grandi cose'' per il bosco, o sia, per la costruzione del suolo fertile.
come nel natura e dintorni
