Published in 1985 by Dr. Elaine Ingham, Dr. Russel Ingham, et al., the Ecological Monograph laid the scientific foundation for the Soil Food Web approach and has since been cited over a thousand times in research around the world. Yet, many of its most powerful lessons remain overlooked.
In this presentation, Daniel Tyrkiel and Adam Swan of The Soil Ecology Lab will uncover five key insights hidden within this seminal paper—insights that reveal how soil microbes and plants interact to create healthy, resilient ecosystems. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of why we make compost the way we do, and how this knowledge can strengthen your practice and build greater trust with your clients.
