What is the relation of bacterial activity
and soil formations?
Answers
Answer:
The arrival of new substrate in the soil increases bacterial populations that feed on them, thus recycling in the process, nutrients important to both plants and other soil organisms. Bacterial expansion leads to a second event, known as succession, which is the growth of protozoa populations that predate bacteria.
Answer:
The arrival of new substrate in the soil increases bacterial populations that feed on them, thus recycling in the process, nutrients important to both plants and other soil organisms. Bacterial expansion leads to a second event, known as succession, which is the growth of protozoa populations that predate bacteria. The expansion of protozoa populations triggers the activity of mites, which feed on protozoans. Substrate arrival triggers as well the activity and expansion of fungi populations, which are also decomposers. Some fungal species compete with other fungal species for the same substrates, such as the Pisolithus and the Fusarium.
