Soil food web is a way of looking at how food comes together the provide nutrition from below the grown. The soil food web is made up of detritus, microbes, bacteria, and fungi. How does this term fit or differ from similar terms along relative research lines?
This term is a buzz term that has caught on from the study of below ground food web.
For the sake of study the below ground food web was defined separately from the observations of the above ground food web.
The soil food web is thus a term created from the study of the below ground food web.
This term is dualistically connected to below ground biofilters, or living filters in idea. However, the soil food web is a term derived from the study of how nutrition is moved around. Thatmeans that the process of information and application of it is slightly divergent from the two terms biofilter and living filter, although they relatively overlap in concept. The translation from one research perspective to the other is not exact.
Looking at this same phenomenon from the perspective of nutrients being broken down for composting and ultimately gardening, or the preservation of the environment, (for removal of ammonia in saltwater environments, the breakdown of substances by thermos bacteria into nitrates with the idea of for the benefit of one project or species study, rather than the overall view in general), is the relative or even super-relative difference between the terms soil [below ground] food web, biofilters, and living filters.
Arguably, the human stomach that isnt buried could be considered apart of the above ground food web, and a biofilter/ living filter. Its all a matter of where the subject starts and where it is going.
The soil food web talks about how nutrition is moved about in the soil.
The soil food web is a big part of the underground food web thought process, but it is only a section of the underground food web if the sub-straights were graphed on a pie chart.
At this point it is fitting to repeat that soil food web is made up of detritus, microbes, bacteria, and fungi. The most ample supply of nutrition is decaying plants and animals.
The greatest beneficiaries are the microbes, bacteria and fungi. Others are entomopathogenic nematodes, and their victims the nematodes.
It goes without assuming that if you are reading you most likely already know this.
This concept of observing the link between consumers, rather than how the byproduct reaches a particular relative state or location, has over ten thousand species, which include many types of micro-arthropods, as-well-asone billion bacteria in a gram of dirt. This fact has become common knowledge and is widely accepted.
These creatures exist in microscale environments. These vary diverse environments exist in-between soil particulate.
Over very short distances the distinction between degrees of pH, poor dimension and size variation, and moisture environments can differ immensely.
Food web diagrams best show the correlative nature of what research has been able to determine as the nutrient path through the soil food web to other under ground food webs; or crossing into the creatures of the above ground food web; its atmospheres and environments.
Much of all food webs are fueled by plant material or the photosynthesis of plants, photosynthetic bacteria, lichens, moss and algae.
Bacteria consume and process root extracts, and residue of plantae material.
Fungi utilize discarded plant fibers as-well-as humus colloids.
The soil food web is an interesting way to approach biofilters from a different end goal in the mind set of the soil food web study method.
