No food, no microbes. This is why living roots in the soil all the time are so important. Think about it - what if you got to eat only on Thursdays and went without in between.

People are often surpised to learn how slow soil microbes grow because we only see how quickly they can grow on rotting food or petri dishes.
Great to see this elegant study quantify this!
Even healthy soils are a food and water desert at the microbial scale.

Excited to have the cover story in @sciencemagazine this week - or perhaps I should say, to partner with fungi on the cover. Fungi partner with nearly all of Earth's land plants to forge ecosystems that we depend on, but scientists are only beginning to understand...

Looks like this will be a great talk on what's goin' down underground.

Pretty good - all that necromass for sure - but needs exudates added.

Soil organic matter is a complex mixture of #plant, animal, or microbial-derived residues at various stages of decomposition. Plants and #microbial communities are usually the biggest contributors to #soil organic matter. Learn more here: bit.ly/3zEJ9eC

Unseen and hidden effects of pesticides: pesticide suppress natural soil fertilizers.
Our new study in @NaturePortfolio demonstrates that pesticides suppress the natural nutrient uptake capacity of beneficial mycorrhizal fungi with 42%.

First they want to get rid of farms and grow everything inside, then get rid of farmers by investing in robots. Now they're figured out how to grow food with no sun. phys.org/news/2022-06-artifi…

Having gardened organically for more than two decades, I’d always added compost to my beds. I also planted cover crops... But now, with no till, I was taking the final step toward “regenerative agriculture.”"

Great read and relevant to all soils - how do we know what's living where and what they do?
