A handful of healthy soil contain a myriad of different micro-organisms and invertebrates, but what do these all do in soils? How do they interact with plant roots? What measures can be taken to maintain this biodiversity?📢Join us on 16 May to untangle what lies beneath our feet
A sad return to Dundee where we said farewell to friend and former colleague Andrew Spiers who died unexpectedly and too young. He was a passionate microbial ecologist, committed to his students and he will be missed by everyone who met him.
