Life in the Soil - Teaser Life in the Soil

There’s a hidden world beneath your feet, the world of earthworms, springtails, fungi, and bacteria. We hardly ever see these little creatures, but their impacts are huge. In fact, the world just wouldn't be the same without them. Soil stores more carbon than the atmosphere and all plants together, filters water, is pivotal for biodiversity and at the center of agriculture and food security. Welcome to Life in the Soil, a podcast series by the plant, fungal and soil ecology lab at Freie Universität Berlin, supported by the BiodivERsA research network. Tune in to our series to hear more from some of the world’s best soil scientists. We'll launch World Soil Day, December 5, 2020.
