💯 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...

I liked this part
"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!

Soil microbes release more carbon dioxide when soil is dry, which could speed up global warming. This is a bigger problem than previously thought.

Managing soil fertilization levels can make for more efficient and productive crops | The-14

Smarter fertilization boosts crop efficiency and resilience while protecting soil health. Cutting excess use strengthens roots, microbes, and long-term yields.

The-14 Pictures
Many grasses are infected by systemic fungal endophytes that occur in aboveground plant tissues. Both aboveground #EndophyticFungi and belowground #SoilMicrobes can influence #PlantGrowth. Yaobing Qu et al. investigated whether the role of aboveground #Epichloë #Endophytes in the growth and competitive ability of the host grasses was influenced by soil microbes.

Scientists are using the DNA from soil microbes to model how they function and use carbon, ultimately helping to advance the accuracy of climate models.
