Collembola sp. – A Review

Sreeremya Sasi

Abstract


The introduction of sustainable development principle has paved a way to an elevating attention towards concepts such as soil quality and soil health. Soil quality is the ability of soil to function effectively as a component of a healthy ecosystem. Traditional approach to soil quality assessment depended on the utilization of physical, concoction and microbiological pointers. This paper constellates information about the role of Collembola sp. in managing the soil quality.
