A rather remarkable visit from two great restoration ecologists this last week, James and Thibaud Aronson… they are in the thick of discussions among public health scientists and ecological restoration scientists about how restored habitats not only buffer us from the arrival of pests, diseases and weeds, but directly improve human health and well-being.
We probably need a 1000 more scientists like them working on the connection between the health of the soil microbiome and that of the human microbiome alone… but they love plants and birds as much as they love soil tilth!
