Decomposition Timeline of Everyday Items - We created this animation to show how long everyday items take to decompose under natural outdoor conditions ,where moisture, oxygen, sunlight, and microbial activity are present. From quick-fading food scraps to materials that will outlast generations, this timeline reveals just how long waste lingers when left to the elements — and why proper disposal and recycling matter more than ever. | The Brain Maze

Soil Life in Action: Bioturbation with and without soil fauna 🐛🪳♻️🦠 Bioturbation is the mixing of (plant) residues into soils and sediments by biotic activity. It is one of the fundamental processes in ecology, as it stimulates decomposition, creates habitats for other (micro)fauna and increases gas- and water flows through the soil. Here you can see a system without (left) and with (right) soil fauna such as earthworms, potworms, collembola, mites and isopods over a 15 weeks period. The cont

‘Competition with the Soil that can Lead to Discoveries for Plant and Human Health’ with Dr Uwe Stroeher and Graham Ross on Radio 2GB This week Dr. Uwe talks to Graham Ross from The Garden Clinic about the competition within our soils that can lead to discoveries for plant and human health. Dr. Uwe's research into the arms race that happens with the microbes in our gardens has provided the foundations of research and development of plant pathogen control agents that can be added to our fertilise
