Soil fertility management continually requires incorporation of organic matter, including organic carbon, into soils which is achievable through litter decomposition followed by constant release of nutrients contained in the plant biomass. Nutrient enrichment of the soil creates a healthy environment for the soil fauna and flora to thrive to the amelioration of soil fertility status vital for the sustainable productiveness of food production systems. Soil fertility is a function of the soil organisms, the micro-, meso- and macro-fauna and flora inhabiting the soil ecosystem. Life processes...
