Many of us face concerns or anxieties over news of fires, floods, and other looming environmental problems in the world. In this webinar, we will discuss how thriving soil ecosystems can help alleviate future disruptions and heal the damage done to our precious biosphere.
- Dr. Adam Cobb will explore our ‘tiny allies’ in the soil, using the example of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi to highlight how soil food webs create the conditions for life to flourish.
- Didi Pershouse will discuss how landscapes function as wholes, and how the soil sponge is the vital infrastructure that regulates local climate and makes life on land possible. She will present how soil biology, plants, and other forms of life are the essential workforce of our biosphere. For example, fungi entangle soil particles to improve aggregation, enhancing healthy soil’s sponge-like ability to soak up water and provide resilience to flooding and drought. The biosphere contains wonderous organisms, such as mycorrhizal fungi in soil. If we learn to work with these tiny allies, rather than against them, there is hope for a future where life is protected, ecosystem health is restored, and human needs are provided for, without degradation of our planet.
