A more than hundred year old focus on easily available nutrients has led farming astray. Instead, nutrient availability is to a large extent an emergent property of healthy soils.
For decades, soil has been treated as an everlasting food machine rather than as a fragile living thing, and it is reaching a crisis point. Understanding how the soil microbiome interacts with the environment and helping farmers embrace new sustainable methods can have a beneficial impact on the soil, and consequently, our health.

A soil scientist from RUDN University studied the decomposition of organic matter in rice paddies the sources of CO2 and methane emissions. Both gases add to the greenhouse effect and affect climate warming in subtropical regions. The emissions increase when the roots of plants influence microbial communities in the soil. This influence, in turn, depends on temperature changes. Therefore, climate warming can lead to more greenhouse gas emissions. The results of the study were published in the
