The soil is one of the main reservoirs of microbial life. Typical garden soil has millions of bacteria in each gram. The most numerous microbes in soil are bacteria. Soil bacteria include aerobes and anaerobes with a wide range of nutritional requirements, from photoautotrophs to chemoheterotrophs. As usable nutrients and suitable environmental conditions (such as light, aeration, temperature) become available, the microbial populations and their metabolic activity rapidly increase until the nutrients are depleted or physical conditions change, and then they return to lower levels.
