Abstract

Healthy soil supports the global carbon cycle, the water cycle, and many nutrient cycles to stabilize ecosystems. We take these processes for granted, and yet, disruptions to these cycles would be devastating if soils became defunct and plants could not photosynthesize. As with the health of the human body to which we rely on to carry out our daily lives, so too does the health of soil give essential life to our world. Strong corollaries exist between the functioning of the human body and the soil body. This essay explores these two bodies through simile. Just as we wish others good health, so too should each of us (and society) wish a world with excellent soil health. A foundational pathway laid by strong science, but pitched to engage more of the public in this effort to foster better soil health might be through non-traditional impressionistic storylines.

我们通过比喻与土壤健康建立联系
健康的土壤支持全球碳循环、水循环和许多养分循环,从而稳定生态系统。我们认为这些过程是理所当然的,然而,如果土壤失效,植物无法进行光合作用,那么这些循环的破坏将是毁灭性的。正如我们日常生活所依赖的人体健康一样,土壤的健康也为我们的世界提供了重要的生命力。人体的功能与土壤的功能之间存在着密切的必然联系。本文通过比喻来探讨这两种身体。正如我们希望他人身体健康一样,我们每个人(和社会)也应该希望世界拥有健康的土壤。让更多公众参与到促进土壤健康的努力中来,可以通过非传统的印象派故事情节来实现。
