Abstract
The main data published in the last 20 years on the ecology of soil mi croorganisms and their possible importance to the further development of ecological soil science are analyzed. The contribution of the micro biota to various biogeocenotic functions of the soil, that is, its rol e in the cycle of substances, in the supply of nutrients, in the maint enance of ecosystem stability, and in the ''memory'' of biogeocenoses, is discussed.
