Actinorhizal plant (Biogeochemical cycle π)
Actinorhizal plants are a group of angiosperms characterized by their ability to form a symbiosis with the nitrogen fixing actinomycetota Frankia. This association leads to the formation of nitrogen-fixing root nodules. Actinorhizal plants are [β¦]

#Soil is one of the most biologically diverse habitats on Earth. Do you know the difference between macrofauna, mesofauna, microfauna and microflora? Well now you do: soilqualityknowledgebase.org.au/soil-biologi... #soilbiology #NationalScienceWeek #soilscience @murdoch.edu.au
How does an earthworm survive soils at 47 Β°C, 96 % COβ & 1 % Oβ? π€― We tracked earthworms for 31 days in volcanic soils & uncovered rapid epidermal remodelling driven by DNA-methylation + miRNA rewiring! @ucoimbra.bsky.social

A very sick yew tree no obvious reason for its sudden decline so no promises here, but watch this space we will do our best #SoilBiology correction the microbes will do their best.

Did you know biochar improves plant health by shaping the soil microbiome?
-> Reduces bulk density and increases porosity
-> Enhances nutrient efficiency
-> Supports microbial growth

Ever heard of a root whisperer?
Plants literally call out to microbes with sugars, and in return, microbes unlock nutrients plants canβt reach on their own.
Nik Nikolayev on Growcast just dropped the real science behind this underground alliance.

You know what the best part of my case study between traditional and biological amendments is? Itβs pulling up to the local good ole boys store, loading my hybrid up with 800lbs of chemicals I hate, and tearing out blasting Alanis Morisette - Thank you disillusionment!

Lots of #ChopAndDrop going on today as I started pruning back the bushes & perennials that provided food and shelter over the winter.
Leaves #habitat for bugs & helps create soil #biodiversity & improve water retention. Itβs a win win.

When we started extracting this morning our playlist chose Centerfield by John Fogerty. How appropriate. πΆ Put me in coach, Iβm ready to play today πΆ
