Soil Fertility: Factors Affecting Soil Fertility, and Biodiversity Responsible for Soil Fertility

Abstract

Nutrient enriched soil is termed as “fertile”. A fertile soil maybe natural or inherent and it can be acquired by artificial fertilizers or manures. Fertility of soil can be affected by physical, chemical or biological factors ultimately having an impact on plant growth. Nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorous, sulfur as well as carbon etc. are not taken up by plants as it is but they have to be converted into their standard forms with help of microbes and nutrient cycling. and soil quality, yield profits. tiny productivity for economic viability and maintenance of soil fertility.
