Abstract

Forest soil microorganisms, as an indispensable component of soil ecosystems, play a key role in maintaining, regulating and promoting the process of material cycling, energy flow and natural succession in the whole forest ecosystem. Soil microorganisms are powerful promoters and participants in biogeochemical cycles, especially soil elemental cycles. Some fungi in soil can form a symbiosis-mycorrhiza with plant roots, which can help plants to absorb nutrients, resist diseases, and enable plants to stand in harsh environments such as barrenness, drought, or saline stress. At the same time, it can also decompose and utilize lignin, cellulose and macromolecules of organic matter in the soil that are difficult to decompose, providing nutrients for plants.
