Soil diversity is the study of the different types of microorganisms, plants, and animals that live in soil ecosystems. These organisms play vital roles in maintaining soil health and fertility, as well as contributing to important ecological processes such as nutrient cycling and carbon storage. Soil diversity research seeks to understand the factors that influence the distribution and abundance of different soil organisms, as well as their interactions with each other and the surrounding environment. This research area is important for informing sustainable soil management practices and conservation efforts.
