Abstract

There are many factors affecting the uncertainty of soil microorganisms. This paper aims at reviewing the influencing factors and research progress of soil microorganisms, such as bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes, soil microbial biomass, such as microbial biomass carbon, microbial biomass nitrogen and microbial biomass P, in the ecological distribution of Soil microbes has been discussed from the aspects of time, space and plant communities etc., focused on effects of natural factors including soil moisture, soil temperature, soil PH, soil nutrients, soil salinity, etc. and artificial measures including fertilization and spraying rare earth elements, grazing, different utilization and tillage practices, crop rotation, burning, fencing, tourism trampling, soil pollution, etc. on soil microbial. Although there are many reports about soil microbiology, overall it is still limited. And look into the distance for future research by combining with our project team for many years of work.
