  2. Soil microbiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_Microbiology

    Farming can destroy soil's rhiziobiome (microbial ecosystem) by using soil amendments such as fertilizer and pesticide without compensating for their effects. By contrast, healthy soil can increase fertility in multiple ways, including supplying nutrients such as nitrogen and protecting against pests and disease, while reducing the need for ...

  3. Soil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil

    Soil, also commonly referred to as earth, is a mixture of organic matter, minerals, gases, liquids, and organisms that together support the life of plants and soil organisms. Some scientific definitions distinguish dirt from soil by restricting the former term specifically to displaced soil. Soil measuring and surveying device

  4. Soil biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_biology

    Soil biology is the study of microbial and faunal activity and ecology in soil. Soil life , soil biota , soil fauna , or edaphon is a collective term that encompasses all organisms that spend a significant portion of their life cycle within a soil profile, or at the soil- litter interface.

  5. Agricultural microbiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agricultural_microbiology

    By dominating the soil's microbial environment, effective microorganisms encourage other beneficial microbes to thrive and outcompete smaller groups of pathogenic or opportunistic microbes. This natural balancing act leads to stronger, more resilient plants and higher crop yields, positioning effective microorganisms as a key player in the ...

  6. Environmental monitoring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_monitoring

    Although on-site data collection using electronic measuring equipment is common-place, many monitoring programmes also use remote surveillance and remote access to data in real time. This requires the on-site monitoring equipment to be connected to a base station via either a telemetry network, land-line, cell phone network or other telemetry ...

  7. Soil organic matter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_organic_matter

    Soil organic matter (SOM) is the organic matter component of soil, consisting of plant and animal detritus at various stages of decomposition, cells and tissues of soil microbes, and substances that soil microbes synthesize.

  8. Chemostat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemostat

    One of the most important features of chemostats is that microorganisms can be grown in a physiological steady state under constant environmental conditions. In this steady state, growth occurs at a constant specific growth rate and all culture parameters remain constant (culture volume, dissolved oxygen concentration, nutrient and product concentrations, pH, cell density, etc.).

  9. Digestate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digestate

    The primary use of digestate is as a soil conditioner. [5] Acidogenic digestate provides moisture retention and organic content for soils. This organic material can break down further, aerobically in soil. Methanogenic digestate provides nutrients for plant growth. It can also be used to protect soils against erosion.
