The study looked at how soil microbes in a desert forest are affected by factors like soil density, moisture, and nutrients. They found that as soil density and particle size decreased, and moisture and porosity increased, there were more soil microbes. Soil nutrients also played a role in the amount of microbes present. Enzyme activities in the soil were linked to the quantity of microbes, especially invertase and phosphatase. High salt content in the soil was not good for soil microbes. Overall, creating good soil conditions in arid forest areas can help soil microbes thrive and improve soil health.
