State of the art in soil ecology

Abstract

The soil ecosystem is widely reported as being one of the richest ecosystems in the world however, despite being recognized this great ecosystemic complexity Soil little is known about the interactions that occur in this ecosystem. The interactions that are known  not been studied within the natural dynamics of functioning of the soil ecosystem. So, are widely needed studies that investigate the state of the art knowledge on soil ecology, soil biology and all the interactions that take place in this ecosystem, because only from the knowledge of where we are in terms of scientific knowledge about these processes interaction in the ground, below and above the surface layer soil organisms is that we can move forward in order to produce knowledge that can meet the demands on the ecological processes in soil. The results of this literature review shows that there have been important advances in science about the processes of ecological interactions in the soil ecosystem and contributed greatly to the ecology, but there are still many issues and little or nothing organisms studied. It was concluded that the soil ecosystem can be an environment of great contributions to the understanding of how the anthropogenic processes have influenced the Earth's biodiversity and also how we can do to try to recover the biological processes that have been lost in some ecosystems.
