Abstract

Soil microbial communities are one of the most complex, diverse, and important assemblages oforganisms in the biosphere because of the many biological activities they support. The soil is the earth'sliving organ, performing a wide range of functions essential to maintaining life on our planet. Untilrecently, cultures both big and little all across the globe acknowledged this reality and gave spiritualexpression to it by cultivating close ties to the land. Several studies conducted over the course of manyyears have provided conclusive evidence of soil's vital role as the location of numerous processesessential to maintaining life. One gramme of soil may hold up to 10 billion microorganisms of potentiallythousands of distinct species, making soils the most diverse ecosystems on Earth in terms ofmicroorganisms and even more so than eukaryotic creatures (Rosello 2001).
