Alberta’s Secret Weapon for Climate-Resilient Farming: Healthy Soil

Soil structure and microbiome functions are the backbone of sustainable agroecosystems. Soil health is critical for optimizing crop yields, enhancing nutrient cycling, and building climate resilience. The complex interactions between soil physical properties, chemical composition, and diverse microbial communities drive essential processes like organic matter decomposition, nutrient mineralization, and plant growth promotion. Understanding and harnessing these intricate relationships is key to developing regenerative agricultural practices that prioritize long-…
