Here is a good example @FutureGrower of how differing treatments alter microbial communities, we all have much to learn, what is the perfect balance, and at what time.
Dendrogram showing the taxonomy and the habitat specialists associated with soil health treatments (AD, anaerobic soil disinfestation; CC, chemical control; CL, caliente control; CH, chitin; CB, combination; CO, compost; CT, control treatment; GC, grass-clover; MA, Marigold; PH, physical control)

for those wishing to read the paper on the impacts of farming methods on soil fauna, you can find the paper here, it is of course highly academic as it most of this material. its still in discovery mode so to be expected. Much of what we think we know is not concrete imo
