The soil is a polydisperse multiphase multicomponent system, populated as a result of organisms of different taxonomic affiliation, size groups and physiological requirements to the environment, but the most well developed Botanical methods of phytoindication and soil diagnosis. Based on the analysis of the structure of plant communities and physiological reactions of individual plants can identify the classification of soil, the dominant soil-forming processes, to determine the main indicators of soil condition. This article presents the main approaches to soil bioindication. This overview of the method of bioindication and existing areas of bioindication of soils. The types of invertebrates and microorganisms used as indicators are presented in the most detail.
