Abstract
Provisioning services of soil refers to products such as nutrients, water and other materials that are important for the growth and production of food and fiber products; fuel-wood, potable drinking water, medicinal Products, provided by soil ecosystem services make available for human use. One or more soil functions are the foundation for the goods and services supplied by ecosystems that benefit human society. In the same way, soil functions are supported by a narrow to wide range of microorganisms. This indicates that there is an important role of soil microbial biomass in the ecosystem services as a whole. In one and another way, microorganisms play a crucial role in the Soil formation and provision of raw materials; in maintaining soil health and promoting of plant growth; in provisioning of food; in providing bioactive compounds of medical and commercial value; in generating of energy i.e. in the production of next-generation biofuels, thereby supply different products that are useful to mankind. In this respect, the review paper mainly identified and summarized under-examined aspects of the roles of microbes particularly in provisioning services of soil to human society. And it’s suggested that further investigations may be important if it could be conducted on the contributions of microbes at species and subspecies level on the identified provisioning services of soil to find their value in the areas.
