What is soil?
• A sand-silt-clay matrix
• Living and dead organic matter
• Gases and liquids in the matrix

Important Functions - Soil Food Web
• Chemical: nutrient cycling and retention, carbon sequestration, pollutant degradation
• Physical: infiltration, structure, aggregates, etc.
• Biotic: disease suppression, biodiversity
