This is the best talk on the relationship between soil quality and farm management that I've ever heard!

Re question asked at about 1:18:40 “soluble C from plant exudates” - very recent research indicates that at least some of the exudate C is being converted to stable or recalcitrant C, while soil microbes are stimulated by the exudates to assimilate some soil organic C (ie, priming). The knowledge keeps ‘evolving’ much more assuredly than the theory of evolution.
