The lives that slither and scurry beneath the soil’s surface are vital for ecological health: now we can listen in to them
Soil is the foundation of many ecosystems above ground: the medium from which plants grow, and the basis of most food chains.

And we’re finding that a healthy soil is often a noisier one.
