Future Ecologies presents: Life in the Soil

In this episode, Anja and Matthias go on an underground safari through the hidden jungle of the soil. We hear from Diana Wall about a tiny worm that is so tough it survives in Antarctica. Richard Bardgett introduces us to collembola, also known as springtails. Stefan Scheu and Maddy Thakur reveal which animals are considered the “wolves of the soil”, and Kate Scow delves into bacterial communities. How do all these organisms work together as a system?

We're all living in the Plastisphere. The chemistries of plastic have proliferated throughout our ecosystems and our bodies. But widespread concerns over the impacts of plastic are relatively recent – arising from a line of scientific inquiry well within living memory.

While we work on Season 3, we're featuring an episode from one of our favourite shows: Plastisphere – "The Discovery of Plastic Pollution".
