Voles play a crucial role in their ecosystem by aerating the soil as they tunnel underground, which improves soil drainage and helps plant roots access nutrients. Their burrowing activities also create habitat and nesting sites for other small animals. Additionally, voles serve as prey for various predators, contributing to the ecosystem's food web.
