Abstract :

Microorganisms and soil animals fall within the scope of soil biota that are necessary to maintain not only soil health, but also ecosystem resilience. The biota effects in the soil functional significance include nutrient cycling, disintegration of organic matter, and establishment of soil structure, which are very important in the growth of plants and ecological imbalance. It also gives importance to the contribution of the different groups of biotics (microfauna, mesofauna and macrofauna) in addition to external contributions such as pH, temperature, moisture and compaction factors that influence distribution and activity. Recently, people have raised concerns about the potential risks to the health of soil that enter into the soil ecosystems as microplastics (MPs). To enhance agricultural sustainability and guarantee a stable environment, it is necessary to maintain soil diversity. Good and effective soil management methods are needed to ensure such ecological problems are addressed adequately.
