Active roots, living organisms, root exudates, decomposing plant & animal material, humus, charcoal. You find these in #soil organic matter. Here's how #SOM benefits #soilfunction & fertility: soilqualityknowledgebase.org.au/soil-organic... #NationalScienceWeek #soilscience #SQKB @murdoch.edu.au

#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

Happy #NationalScienceWeek! Here are the steps to hand-texturing #soil - an important experiment that ANYONE can do. What does your soil tell you? soilqualityknowledgebase.org.au/soil-texture... #SQKB #soilscience

Oh! And #SoilCompaction is one of the 10 free #SoilQuality ebooks available here: books.apple.com/au/book/soil...

Prevention of #soilcompaction is better than the cure. However, already compacted soils can be remediated by several management practices: soilqualityknowledgebase.org.au/soil-compact... #SQKB

#Soilacidity is an economic and natural resource threat throughout the south-western ag region of WA. It is est. more than 14m ha of #soil are acidic or at risk of becoming acidic to the point of restricting production: soilqualityknowledgebase.org.au/soil-acidity/ #SQKB
