MYRON J. MITCHELL* The biota of soils constitute an integral part
of both natural and agronomic ecosystems. The soil microflora and
fauna in conjunction with the belowground portion of the Metaphyta
or higher plants constitute the living milieu, components of which
are in intimate association with each other as well as the abiotic
constituents of the soil. Since these associations or interactions
are important in regulat ing both the flux and availability of
energy and nutrients, the central theme of the present book focuses
on these interactions. The effects of microfloral and faunal inter
actions with regard to overall ecosystem dynamics and specific
critical processes will be examined. HISTORICAL ASPECTS The
coverage of this volume is an extension of a vast body of
literature which dates back to the 18th century. A brief compendium
of major books and reviews published from 1960 to 1983 is given
chronologically in Tables 1 and 2, respectively. Russell (1961) has
reviewed work in the 1800's during which some of the basic tenets
on the relationships between plant nutrition and soil properties
became estab lished. In this period agricultural science was
founded and the study of soil bacteriology began. The evolution of
soil biology up to the early 1970's has been described by Satch211
in the volume edited by Dickinson and Pugh (1974). *Department of
