Spot on - too many overlook the massive microbial workforce lying dormant in most soils.
Balanced biology isn’t just about presence… it’s about function. And waking up that biology in the right order is how we trigger real succession, not just spikes.
Appreciate the work you’re doing to shift the conversation from NPK to microbial performance. Always glad to see soil function front and center.

Active roots, living organisms, root exudates, decomposing plant & animal material, humus, charcoal. You find these in #soil organic matter. Here's how #SOM benefits #soilfunction & fertility: soilqualityknowledgebase.org… #NationalScienceWeek #soilscience #SQKB @Aus_ScienceWeek

Which of these tells the best story?
If data is unable to tell a story (interpretation) how useful is a dataset anyway?
What is the common link here ? It is all one dataset.
#soilhydrology and #soilfunction will drive #NUE.
#NUE will drive sustainability going forward.

1/2 Although #SoilFunction is 1 of 7 key focus areas in our #sustainablecropproduction model, also it feeds into & directly influences many other factors that contribute to building resilient, healthy, sustainable farming systems. #Soil is a farm’s greatest asset! #WorldSoilDay

How important is plant #diversity in your #covercrop regime?
Stay tuned to @CSIRO this Thursday for the #studentsymposium to learn more about my project investigating the relationship between cover crop traits and #soilfunction❗️🪴

Lots of interest in our Soil Life reports at @Groundswellaguk.
🔊 @SOYLprecision & Sustainability Knowledge Exchange Manager, Ed Jones gives an overview of how the analyses work.

Surprising patterns in #soil ecosystems: new study in @sciencemagazine finds #earthworms peak in #biodiversity at mid latitudes, & #climate is a strong driver. Implications for #SoilFunction under #ClimateChange. bit.ly/2JpKWcG #infographic #SciArt
ALT Infographic about new study on earthworms. Earthworm communities were found to be more diverse and abundant in mid latitudes, differing from above ground organisms (which tend to be most diverse in the tropics). Climate variables were a strong driver of earthworm patterns of diversity and abundance.
