It is easy to observe that many organisms are well adapted to their local environment, with obvious features such as a polar bear’s thick fur coat in cold environments or a camel's hump that is instrumental to its survival in the dry desert. But it is much more difficult to tell if microorganisms that live in the soil beneath our feet are also uniquely adapted to their environment. In two new studies published in the journal, Biogeochemistry, Colorado State University researchers set out to determine just that.

I am always pleased to hear people express support for family farming. I come from a family farm, and have worked with family farmers on animal health issues throughout my adult life.
