Living organisms present in soil include archae, bacteria,actinomycetes, fungi, algae, protozoa, and a wide variety of larger soil fauna, including springtails, mites,nematodes, earthworms, ants, insects that spend all or part of their life underground, and larger organisms such as burrowing rodents.
Soil fertility is a complex process that involves the constant cycling of nutrients between organic and inorganic forms. As plant material and animal wastes are decomposed by micro-organisms, they release inorganic nutrients to the soil solution, a process referred to as mineralization
