Soil Biology Research and Education

Soil microbes do so much for our ecosystems, but much of it goes unnoticed because these organisms are invisible to our eyes. Bacteria and fungi break down dead and dying organic material, reorganize soil structure to create pore spaces, increase aeration, increase water retention, and begin the process of nutrient cycling. They even produce glues to hold the soil structure together, reducing erosion. But the story doesn't end with them. Predators must be present...
