‘Cyborg soil’ reveals the secret microbial metropolis beneath our feet
(2021) In The Conversation- Abstract
- Dig a teaspoon into your nearest clump of soil, and what you’ll emerge with will contain more microorganisms than there are people on Earth. We know this from lab studies that analyse samples of earth scooped from the microbial wild to determine which forms of microscopic life exist in the world beneath our feet.
