My Story about Soil Animals
This 'Soil Animal' site aims to open up a debate about the role of soil animals in the future of the earth. 
Part 1 - The Birth of the Earth examines how the soil was formed, and the key role played by small soil animals, many million years ago. Soil evolution seems to be taken for granted, yet it was crucial to later evolution of nature as we know it today.
Ce site de "Animal sols» vise à ouvrir un débat sur le rôle des animaux du sol dans l'avenir de la terre
Part 1 - The Birth of the Earth examines how the soil was formed, and the key role played by small soil animals, many million years ago. Soil evolution seems to be taken for granted, yet it was crucial to later evolution of nature as we know it today.When you see evolution tables, they do not usually mention the soil. However, if you believe that the soil is a 'living entity' (somewhere between 'organism' and 'ecosystem'), then it must have evolved at some point. But when? Before you read on, could you complete the soil birth survey - it will only take a couple of minutes.
La naissance de la Terre examine comment la terre a été formée, et le rôle clé joué par les animaux du sol de petites, de nombreux millions d'années. L'évolution des sols semble êtrepris pour acquis, mais il était crucial pour l'évolution ultérieure de la nature telle que nous la connaissons aujourd'hui.
 | Part 2 - Digging the Dirt investigates scientific research carried out many years ago into how soil animals may be affected by pesticides. 'Pesticides & Paradigms' reappraises the finding in the light of changing 'paradigms' of thought. Fouiller le Dirt enquête recherches scientifiques effectuées il ya plusieurs années dans la façon dont les animaux du sol peut être affectée par les pesticides. «Pesticides et paradigmes»réévalue la conclusion à la lumière de l'évolution des«paradigmes» de la pensée. |
