摘要
Organismal and functional diversity of soil protozoa are reviewed and the importance of protozoa in soil metabolism is discussed. Existing methods of determining protozoan organismal diversity in soils are briefly listed and some of their shortcomings outlined. Feeding guilds amongst soil protozoa are described and a preliminary classification of feeding habits of soil protozoa based on Pratt and Cairns (1985) system for freshwater protozoa is proposed. Protozoan diversity during the recovery of soil communities from serious environmental disturbance is discussed and some proposals for the direction of future research are made.
