The microorganisms found in the soil are responsible for breaking down organic matter of all kinds (e.g., grass roots, plant parts, animal tissues, stolon, etc.) in a process known as biodegradation. As this degraded organic material (known as humus) is being formed, microorganisms consume a large portion of the decomposed carbon to receive vital energy for growth, and they release the remaining carbon into the atmosphere in the form of CO2.
Managing plant stress through focusing on soil health will support and restore the natural functions of soils to retain nutrients and water within the root zones where they are available.
