Climate change, driven by anthropogenic activities, has far-reaching consequences for our planet. Among its many impacts, changes in temperature, elevated carbon dioxide levels, and shifts in greenhouse gas concentrations significantly affect soil ecosystems. In particular, soil microbial communities play a pivotal role in nutrient cycling, organic matter decomposition, and overall soil health. Soil microbial communities respond differently to effects of climate change like elevated warming and precipitation. The change in climatic condition is reported for adversely affecting soil biological activity directly through either drying or wetting of soil or affecting their associated plants. This review delves into the intricate relationship between climate change and soil microbial abundance diversity and distribution. The paper also discusses climatic change pressure on soil enzymatic activity and microbial biomasses as well as soil faunal activity as they are key indicators of soil health in changing climate. Soil microbial community cope with climate through changing their diversity and physiological characteristics and through changing their symbiotic plants, which indicate role of soil microbes in withstanding negative impact of climate change.
