The soil ecosystem contains a wide range of organisms including viruses, prokaryotes, and single or multi-cellular eukaryotes. These organisms are further classified into the microflora, and the micro-, meso-, and macro- fauna. And of these groups, the microflora contain the greatest number of individuals and represent a substantial proportion of the biomass within a typical soil. Further, the microflora participate in the vast range of metabolic conversions that occur in the soil; ranging from the everyday litter decomposition to highly specialized pesticide decomposition.
