Abstract
ONE of the most characteristic features of the soil is the presence of a complex micro-flora and micro-fauna. The activities of this complex population are of the highest importance both for the philosophical and practical study of the soil, for there is scarcely a reaction or property of the soil which is unaffected by micro-biological processes. In the investigation of these processes, the Rothamsted workers have played a leading and distinguished part.
