Biodiversity Above & Below Ground: Implications for Soil Health

Additional Information

This presentation focuses on the complex interactions among living organisms that inhabit soils. This network of life is pivotal in regenerating fertility and fostering soil health. Learning how to enhance biodiversity above ground amplifies microbial diversity within soils. This symbiosis contributes effectively to soil resiliency and productivity in an ecologically sound manner.
