| Abstract: | Soils contain enormous numbers of diverse living organisms assembled in complex and varied communities. Microscopic examination
of a soil sample reveals the presence of billions of organisms like nematodes, protozoa, fungi, algae, actinomycetes, bacteria
and cyanobacteria. These diverse organisms interact in the ecosystem, forming a complex web of biological activity. Environmental
factors, such as temperature, moisture and acidity, as well as human activities such as agricultural and forestry management
practices, affect soil biological communities and their functions. Soil biology is an interesting area of soil research and
has yielded considerable information that is used in soil fertility management. |
