News, trials and practical thinking on soil biology, humic inputs and sustainably intensive farming.

Introduction
The global agricultural sector is at a pivotal juncture, with the escalating need for sustainable and efficient farming practices. Traditional fertilizers, while prevalent, have shown limitations in enhancing soil fertility and promoting crop yield. In contrast, soil boosters like humic acid have emerged as a potent alternative, offering multifaceted benefits underscored by scientific evidence.

Introduction
Factors driving microbial community composition and diversity are well established but the relationship with microbial functioning is poorly understood, especially at large scales. We analysed microbial biodiversity metrics and distribution of potential functional groups along a gradient of increasing land-use perturbation, detecting over 79,000 bacterial and 25,000 fungal OTUs in 715 sites across 24 European countries.

Executive Summary
Recent developments in soil carbon sequestration (SCS) research underscore the significant role agriculture can play in bridging the global emissions gap.This report integrates these findings with SoilPoint’s initiatives, highlighting the potential impact of increasing soil organic carbon (SOC) in croplands and pastures globally.
