A grassroots "Soil Your Undies" challenge demonstrates a field test for biological activity in topsoil, underscoring ...
The cause-effect sequence or "feedback" between plants and their soil microbial communities plays an important role in structuring plant communities. To predict this synergistic coexistence, ...
Heating alone won’t drive soil microbes to release more carbon dioxide — they need added carbon and nutrients to thrive. This finding challenges assumptions about how climate warming influences soil ...
When Space Shuttle Columbia lifts off in January, it will carry the Mechanics of Granular Materials (MGM) experiment, which studies soil behavior under conditions that cannot be duplicated on Earth — ...

A 42-year experiment reveals the surprising persistence of carbon in retired farmland soils
When farmland is returned to the wild, it shows a striking ability to hold onto the carbon that built up in farm soils over time, retaining this stock for 30 years or more, a unique, long-term study ...
If you want to accelerate the economic benefits of soil health on your farm, it’s important to at least run some back-of-the-napkin figures, including input costs and yield expectations, to establish ...
Ecologists have measured plant-soil feedbacks for six perennial prairie grass species in a short-term greenhouse study, and say their findings do not match outcomes observed in long-term experiment ...
