Episode 128: Dr. Elaine Ingham of Soil Foodweb Inc. guides us on this
podcast journey into the world of soil. The meeting place of atmosphere,
hydrosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere, soil contains vast numbers of
species. Like most places where edges of different worlds meet, the soil
is a dynamic interface. Fertile soil is alive with the biodiversity of a

creatures that comprise the Soil Food Web, including Bacteria, Fungi,
Nematodes, Protozoa, and Arthropods; and the many ecosystem services
that they provide
