What is Soil Life?

The life activities of soil organisms depend to a large extent on the physical and chemical properties of the soil, the main ones being soil temperature, humidity, aeration status and gas composition, pH, and quantity and composition of organic and inorganic matter. Agricultural technical measures, including farming, cultivation, fertilization, irrigation, drainage, and pesticide application, can also affect the life activities of soil organisms. Under certain conditions, the number of certain microorganisms and their biochemical strength can be purposefully increased through measures such as inoculation.

Soil biology

An integral part of soil biology. Refers to living organisms that are invisible to the naked eye in the soil. It can only be observed in the laboratory with the help of a microscope or an electron microscope. Generally use micrometer or nanometer as

Under the action of soil microorganisms, the general term for the process of converting organic compounds into inorganic compounds in soil. Mineralization

Soil organisms have a significant impact on soil properties and also affect the purification function of soil pollutants. Their role is to chew finely and decompose animal and plant residues to continuously degrade them; turn and stir soil minerals and organic matter, and promote the formation of soil aggregate structures. Soil organisms have certain tolerance limits for pollutants entering the soil. Exceeding this limit will weaken or even endanger their life activities and survival, thus reducing or destroying the purification function of the soil.
