Study Shows Microbes – Dead or Alive – Can Be Early Measures of Soil Health<\/h3>\n \n\n \t \t

Researchers have demonstrated a series of biological tests that could serve as \u201cproxies\u201d for measuring how different regenerative agriculture practices could improve soil carbon \u2013 years before it would be possible to measure the carbon directly. The technique offers new insights into how effective various regenerative practices are at improving soil health.  The phenomenon is… \n \n \n <\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\t \t \n <\/div>\n\n <\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
