Abstract
The presented mini-review shows a systematic picture of the biological activity of soils in its connection with physical and chemical properties, and, ultimately, with soil fertility and crop yields. The biological activity of soils is due to the lifetime activity of soil biota, mainly microbiota and root systems of plants, as well as the action of soil enzymes. It has been shown that individual BAP tests can be used as simple and accessible biological fertility indices BFI.
