Soil Biology

Soil biology is the study of living organisms in soil and how they interact with each other and their environment. Researchers in this field study various organisms like bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and earthworms that play important roles in nutrient cycling, decomposition, and soil health. They investigate how these organisms impact plant growth, soil structure, and overall ecosystem functioning. By understanding soil biology, scientists can develop sustainable agricultural practices and improve soil quality for better crop production.
