Idea is a temporary aoe ability(or passive aura) that defiles the earth around the caster(aura of unit, or maybe a building that turns earth around), alive land units stepping on it cannot be healed (either in any way, or just conventional caster heal) and corpses on it resurrect on its own

Well castable auras for now are a no.
But if as a tech that unlocks aura on unit or building than can be fine for now.

Avout aura itself:
For now it is lot possible to give auto raise for corpses when they are insid3 aura. This is out of option. As for making less affected by healing (up to unaffected at all) it is possible.

I meaned like either one or the other, like a spell that turns earth around into cursed for a fixed amount of turns, or a aura that keeps earth cursed as long as unit, or building exists

Alternatively it can just add a more severe debuff for land units than no healing, but no res, like weaker dmg, or armor

Well as a permanent aura on tower why not. It may become good defencive tower for ud. Only problem is % based healing since this will be unaffected by this (troll regen, lizardman regen or horde healing effects).

It makes sense though, trolls dont heal by divine means, and lifesteal is straight up drinking blood

But it needs to have some way to actively damage units on top, or be super cheap

Or it could be a necropolis tech that affects earth around it

I'd say it may be a tech to improve bone tower or spirit tower.

Seems good, with maybe a tech to give bonee tower decent range(like 6 or above) and extra dmg, it might be worth using as an actual tower
