🚀 Using data from a 40-year field trial, we show that organic cropping systems not only transform soil biodiversity but also supercharge its metabolic potential for nutrient cycling with lasting consequences for soil C, N, and P stocks. 🌾 #SustainableAgriculture #SoilHealth doi.org/10.1016/j.so...

"How can I stand on the ground every day and not feel its power? How can I live my life stepping on this stuff and not wonder at it?" William Logan Soils are the essence of life, and I deeply admire the tiny biological engines that keep them functional. Happy World Soil Day 2024 !
