Soil microflora
2012). As an example, Asher et al.
(2012) further proved in their research on humus creation that thermal conditions (due to
differences in altitude and exposure) and consequently the climate influence soil microflora
considerably. Humus being defined as an organic residue in the soil resulting from
decomposition of plant and animal residues in soil, or it is the highly complex organic
residual matter in soil which is not readily degraded by microorganism (Kausadikari).
There are several other variables that impact the soil microflora. For instance, a study by
Canbolat et al. (2007) showed that root length, root and shoot weight of plants were decreased
by soil compaction, which suggests that microfloral activity in compact soil is lower.
Cultural practices
The mankind has and will have a major influence on changing the microflora of soils. There
are countless activites that have and minor effect, but change the soil composition in the long
