Abstract: Soil is the most biologically abundant ecosystem on the earth. Soil biodiversity has significant impact on maintaining soil ecological balance and agricultural production, especially on healthy growth and disease control of plants. Therefore, it is of great significance to study soil biodiversity. This paper reviewed the role of soil biodiversity in plant growth. First of all, the history of soil biodiversity was introduced. Secondly, the composition of soil biodiversity was introduced, and the role of soil biodiversity in regulating the quantity and species of soil organisms, maintaining the balance and stability of soil system, participating in nutrient circulation and energy flow, and promoting plant health were discussed based on the interactions among microbial diversity, fauna diversity and plant diversity. Finally, combined with the background of advocating the protection of soil biodiversity in the great time, the potential factors threatening soil biodiversity were analyzed.
