Description: Dr J Floot Anthoni explains how the soil works, what lives there and how nutrients are recycled.
www.seafriends.org.nz/enviro/soil/ecology.htm Soils, their living organisms, and the plant ecosystems rooted in them, have developed in close synchrony ever since plants evolved. Between them there exists a strange synergy, whose only purpose seems to be to sustain life to its maximum. Man's intervention, by cutting forests, seeding grassland and planting crops amounts to a major shock to this earthy world. Man's ignorance and unfriendliness towards the soil may lead to his own destruction. Knowing how the soil's ecosystem works, what it needs and how it likes to be treated, could save our soils for posterity. How does soil work? What happens in the soil? How are nutrients recycled in soil? What is the water cycle and how does the water cycle fertilise the soil? What lives in soil? What is the role of fungi?
