Living Soil – a Habitat Hidden from View

There’s a crazy place beneath your feet, a jungle of sand, silt, and clay, of solids and pores. Some of the most diverse and overlooked communities on Earth live here, in a world unlike anything we know – completely dark, of tiny proportions, and full of surprises. Even the air and water aren’t the same. Soils and their inhabitants play a big role for the overground world, from food security to climate change. It’s a special habitat, full of surprises. In this episode of Rllig Lab podcast, host Anja Krieger learns more from co-producer Matthias Rillig and soil scientist Johannes Lehmann.
