  abstract = {{S}oil zoology and soil ecology have become very active fields of research since the early 1990s. {A} search in the {ISI} {W}eb of {S}cience databases showed a steady increase in publications about that theme over the last two decades, and 3,612 bibliographic references were found for that theme for the period of 2004 to 2008. {T}he researches covered mostly soil environmental issues, toxicology and ecology. {T}he issue of theoretical development in soil ecology is discussed, and arguments are presented against the idea that the soil ecology theory is deficient. {F}inally, the need for a general model of soil function and soil management is discussed and some options are presented to reach this goal.},
