Overview
The book explains how – over the last 500 million years – the bacteria, protists, viruses and other simple organisms work with fungi, roots and soil animals to make soil structures of different sorts in different ways. It emphasises that these various soil processes did not arrive together in some great soil event, but evolved over millions of years, and in relation to each other.
In particular, this original story of evolution brings in the role of soil animals like never before. These creatures house many bacteria, move the fungal spores and help stick the soil particles together. It opens up a whole new world of soil that many will find exciting.
