Soil Biology: The Reason Why We Are Here

A thin living layer of soil decides how well your campus landscape performs. This 9-page handout covers:

  • The rhizosphere and the mutual benefits between plants and soil microbes

  • How soil biology builds structure, and why succession matters on campus

  • How compaction from events, foot traffic and construction opens the door to pathogens

  • Six practical steps campus leaders can take this year, plus a three-question self-check
