Soil Food Web (SFW) is the description of the complex process of how various microorganism interacts with each other and in the process naturally fertilizes the soil for plants to grow and for carbon to be sequestered in the soil. The SFW describes the biology that makes the nitrogen cycle work. SFW as a concept is derived from the researches of Dr. Elaine Ingham and has been continuously enriched by other soil scientists and farm practitioners in the field of agriculture.
The core biology in the SFW are the following:
- Bacteria (of Domain Bacteria)
- Archaea (of Domain Archaea)
- Fungi (of Domain Eukarya)
- Protozoa, notably Amoeba, Flagella, Cilia (of Domain Eukayra)
- Soil nematodes (of Domain Eukarya)
- Microarthopods (of Domain Eurkarya)
