Soil Is Alive: The Living World Beneath Our Feet | SLICE EARTH | FULL DOC

Soil is not inert ground. It is a living system built by worms, bacteria, fungi, roots, and the slow breakdown of organic matter. This episode goes below the surface to show how soil forms, how it stores water and nutrients, and how hidden life makes plant growth possible. From leaf litter and humus to deep roots and mycorrhizal fungi, the ground beneath us is shaped by constant biological activity.
