Every organism in a healthy and thriving soil ecosystem is important, including bacteria, protozoa, and nematodes. We’re going to focus on plants and fungi in this webinar, because they have unique roles and partnerships that facilitate every other form of life in the soil.

Fungal biomass is also one of the key factors for soil aggregation, helping to maintain a stable and aerobic environment.
