Science costs more in some countries than in others...
and this can add to other geographical disparities like language barriers or access to infrastructure.

Our take on the matter, with potential solutions, now available in @cp-trendsmicrobiol.bsky.social.

Amid the global soil health crisis, microbiome engineering is key for restoration. This study by Senka Causevic et al. examines how habitat filtering shapes soil microbiota transplant outcomes and how synthetic communities can steer resident microbiome development.
