When we walk through a forest, a meadow or among fields, we perceive the visible half of our world. The invisible half, the soil beneath our feet, purifies the water we drink, hosts the plants we eat, and stores large amounts of carbon. Despite the fundamental services that soil provides, we pay little attention to what happens beneath our feet.

Have you ever wondered what makes up a soil? How diverse soils can be? How roots grow through the soil and change it? How difficult it can be for a plant to get water and nutrients from the soil?
