Abstract
As the global climate continues to change, it becomes more important to understand possible feedbacks from soils to the climate system. This chapter focuses on soil microbial community responses to climate change factors. The omnipresent microbes provide a major contribution in plant, microbes and soil interactions especially during the cycling of soil organic carbon (SOC) and other nutrients. This is the need of the hour to understand and predict the influence of climate change on soil micro flora. In this chapter we compiled the trends on climate change such as influence of greenhouse gas, temperature, pH, salinity and moisture on soil microbiota and its effect on plants.
