Abstract:

The biological indication of soil fauna to the environment of soil quality has been a hot issue of general interest in soil ecology around the world. The paper reviewed the indices of soil quality, the indication of the soil fauna and the relationships between the indication of soil fauna and the soil quality. It pointed out that soil fauna had a sound foundation and application prospect to indicate the soil quality. Moreover, the future researches in the field of the bio-indication of soil fauna to the soil quality changes were also prospected. Therefore, expecting and desiring these review can provide theories and practice to soil conservation, soil health maintain, concentrated fertilization and bring the soil fauna to the system of soil quality evaluation.
