Summary Introduction

Introduction: Soil is a dynamic and natural system that is crucial for the sustenance of humanity. In the global ecosystem, soil performs five critical functions, namely it acts as a medium for the growth of the plant, it regulates water supply, it acts as a habitat for soil organisms, and raw material recycler. The most important function of the soil is to store and supply essential nutrients to plants. Soil is composed of diverse microorganisms that assist the plant to get sufficient nutrients.
