The knowledge gathered in this book will empower the young scientist to undertake a mission to create awareness among the growing scientist and agriculturalists regarding soil biodiversity, conservation and inventerization and sustainable future. The presentation of the each chapter will create a new wave in the perceptions of the importance of soil fauna and flora by researches, young scientist, and teachers. The presented papers contributed much to clarify the common goal of the soil biota to work out a unitary system of soil organisms.
