Editorial for Special Issue “Environmental Factors Shaping the Soil Microbiome”

Soil is a complex system consisting of various abiotic and biotic factors interacting among themselves in a particular time period. These biotic factors are particularly affected by a large number of disturbances or perturbations occurring in the micro-niches. Soil microbiome is the paramount biotic...
