  1. Six Years of Drought Reshape Soil Microbiomes in Tallgrass Prairie, Study Finds

    A study tracking soil microbial communities across six years of experimental drought in a tallgrass prairie finds that prolonged water stress diminishes biodiversity, pushing communities toward less predictable, harder-to-reverse configurations.

  5. Finland replaced artificial playground surfaces with natural elements like mud and soil — and the results surprised even researchers

    A growing number of educators and researchers are rethinking what children actually need from the spaces where they…

    💯 the invisible ecosystem services provided by the soil microbial community is difficult to overstate.
    Soil aggregation (=erosion prevention), carbob storage, water purification, breakdown of pollutants, biodiversity, soil fertility for agricultural production...

    "fungal diversity can be protected no matter where it occurs. Land managers can allow more woody debris to remain on the landscape as a food source for fungi; anyone can improve their backyard’s soil health by composting."

    We take care for birds, thus let's take care for our fungi! :ecoanarchism_heart:

  13. Imagine a world where crops can grow without fertilisers. That’s what some scientists are trying to achieve by reawakening dormant plant traits. They are exploring how plants can form symbiotic relationships with soil microbes that provide them with nitrogen and other nutrients. #plantbiology #sustainablefarming #soilmicrobes theconversation.com/how-dorman

  15. Manure application and local variation dominates the microbial signal (PLFA/PLEL: 244 chains x 5 systems, block design) compared to crop rotation and other management practices. Signals in soil organic carbon, and total nitrogen are less clear. Esperschutz etal 2007 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/ab #SoilMicrobes #PLFA #Agroecosystem
