compare the soil biota in the given soil samples of E1 and E2
Answers
Answer:
Soil biota can be grouped according to size in micro-, meso- and macrobiota. Microbiota are less than 0.2mm and consist of bacteria, actinomycetes, fungi, algae and protozoa. Mesobiota range from 0.2 to 10mm in size and consist of nematodes, enchytraeids, collembola or springtails, mites, rotifers and small insects (arthropods). Macrobiota are organisms larger than 10mm and consist of earthworms, mollusks and larger arthropods.

Answer:
Soil biology is the study of microbial and faunal activity and ecology in soil. Soil life, soil biota, soil fauna, or edaphon is a collective term that encompasses all organisms that spend a significant portion of their life cycle within a soil profile, or at the soil-litter interface. These organisms include earthworms, nematodes, protozoa, fungi, bacteria, different arthropods, as well as some reptiles (such as snakes), and species of burrowing mammals like gophers, moles and prairie dogs. Soil biology plays a vital role in determining many soil characteristics. The decomposition of organic matter by soil organisms has an immense influence on soil fertility, plant growth, soil structure, and carbon storage. As a relatively new science, much remains unknown about soil biology and its effect on soil ecosystems.
