In addition to the advances in soil research, it describes the types of organisms dwelling in soil, soil microbial biomass, their interactions. This book provides an overview of the biodiversity of soil micro-organisms, rhizosphere and phyllosphere regions. The book also highlights the biodegradation of pesticides, organic wastes, plastics, microbial toxins and decomposition of organic manures by soil organisms. This book elaborately describes the microbial biomass which is a part of the active SOM pool, and as an indicator of state and change of total SOM. It also presents measures for enzyme activity in the soil as an indicator of soil biological status. It encourages young researchers and teachers to deepen their knowledge. Detailed knowledge concerning the role of soil organisms on enhancing soil fertility, nutrient transformation and crop productivity enlightens the students and scholars. This text book is an excellent reference for agricultural professionals and post-graduates to execute the research works and provide fundamental knowledge on soil organisms. These compilations allow us to get a good grasp of the complexity of soil biological properties. …
