Abstract
The article is mainly focused on the influence of microbial activities in improving soil productivity. Soil acts as a habitat for various kinds of micro and macro-organisms. These organisms play supporting role in maintaining the flow of biogeochemical cycles in environment. They act as interlink between biotic and abiotic factors. This article gives a wide outline about the types of soil microbes, their ecology and role in enriching soil productivity.
