Published in Scientific Papers. Series "Journal of Young Scientist", Vol. 8
Written by Roxana Oana NICULAE, Dănuț Constantin NICULA

Ecosystem services are the many and varied benefits that people freely gain from the natural environment and the proper functioning of ecosystems. Such ecosystems include, for example, agroecosystems, urban ecosystems, forest ecosystems, pasture ecosystems and aquatic ecosystems, etc. Collectively, these benefits are known as ecosystem services. In this paper we wanted to highlight the very close link between the relationships of soil microorganisms, soil microbiota and the optimal functioning of agroecosystems, which is reflected in the rich harvest obtained in both households presented as case studies. Due to the systems of good agricultural practices which are respected in both households presented in the case study, the functioning of agroecosystems is optimal and this is reflected both in soil health - expressed as biodiversity and the functioning of microorganisms and in plant health.
