Nice :)I need to say up front that this link got turned on to me by my son and apprentice grower. Thought I would share it with my fellow soil nerdz. Great write and amazing findings. The ground beneath our feet is like a galaxy/universe that is just getting explored. ..........I warn it is a scientific study and a long read, but worth every para. peace :smoking:
heres a teaser.
"However, new concepts are emerging which point to a wider range of nutrient sources for plants [19]and question the ‘soil microbial loop’ concept. We recently demonstrated that roots can incorporate large organic molecules including proteins and DNA [20], [21], and this implies that plants may be less dependent on microbial activity for break-down of organic matter than currently assumed. Adding to mounting questions of plant-microbe interactions in soil is the discovery that diverse microbes without known relationships with plants exist in roots [22]."

there was an amazing show on tv the other night covering this very science. They used special filters in their cameras and took footage of reef organisms and other critters and it was like watching a light show!!My inner fishgeek loves how this research was made possible, by bioluminescence!

Who would have thought a stony coral of the acropora species would light up like a xmas tree. Amazing footage!!!
I will ask wifey what channel it was on or what it was called so you can see it if you havent already.
DVR'd, PBS's Nova. Creatures of Light. I will probably watch it again. :)Who would have thought a stony coral of the acropora species would light up like a xmas tree. Amazing footage!!!

Yup there it is. I had a feelin you were all over it. Being a lady of the sea.:D Show was amazing!!! peaceDVR'd, PBS's Nova. Creatures of Light. I will probably watch it again. :)
Thank you bro for that link. I will watch it again as Momma didnt dvr it. It certainly got my old reefkeeper juices flowing. Other than cannabis with its autumn fade there isnt anything more beautiful than that of a healthy thriving reef system........+1 was a great show!
Nova Season 43 Episode 14 "Creatures of Light"
vv There's the link to stream the episode
No, people are fragging the shit out of their prime corals. They're giving them outrageous names a lot like how weed is named, and charging astonishing prices per frag. All captive-grown though. You should see what's coming out of Sea Dwelling Creatures.the guilt of sourcing my stony and soft corals with the problems being experienced in the worlds reef systems keeps me from going there
