Soils are now recognized as the most biodiverse habitat on Earth. Some biota in the #soil can be seen, like ants and earthworms. Others can only be seen using a microscope. Learn more in this #GroundedInSoils blog: bit.ly/3gzuiuH

Soil is a natural substance and a living medium found at the uppermost surface of planet Earth. It may contain both mineral and organic materials. Learn more about this precious natural resource in our new #GroundedInSoils blog: wp.me/pclOv9-4T

Many bacteria live in the soil. Soil biologists discovered a strain of Streptomyces, leading to the use of streptomycin to cure tuberculosis. Read about its discovery in this #GroundedInSoils blog: bit.ly/3OLym7S
