The Habit of Soil Microbes in a Structured World.

How organisms live, move and react has just as much to do with the type of world they live in as it has to do with their genetics. Soil microbes live in an interesting and complex world that can contain most of the Earth’s habitats over very small spatial scales: saturated, unsaturated, fertile, desert, anoxic etc.

This talk will, briefly, look the self-organised soil-microbe complex and then move into more detail as to how the biophysical world of soil may impact on biodiversity, plant water uptake, and hopefully end with a golf lesson.
