🔬 Scientists are using information from soil DNA to study soil microbiomes!

A recent study explored how food waste affects soil health, plant growth, and microbial diversity. DNA extraction allows researchers to unlock hidden information in soil ecosystems.

What happens if you introduce 🦠vs 🦠🦠🦠 into a microbial community? Are larger microbial populations more likely to establish?

Check out new work led by @goldmandoran.bsky.social that used experiments and theory to dive deep into this simple question. ⬇️

🦠Microbiomes & Crop Diversification: A Game- Changer for Sustainable Farming!🌾

Replacing wheat–maize monocultures with legumes (peanut, soybean) and cash crops (sweet potato) can do wonders...

📃BE-study shows that the #plant #microbiome plays a crucial role in species persistence & #ecosystem stability! 🌱🦠 Lab experiments reveal that microbiomes from different land-use intensities shape distinct plant traits, highlighting their adaptive potential.

The soil microbiome is more diverse than the Amazon! 🌱 Soil microbes support 59% of species and provide 50% of nitrogen to crops, yet 33% of the world's soils are degraded. Pollution and climate change threaten our future. It’s time to protect our soil! 🌍
