Джон! Добрый день! Сегодня Я прослушал одну из лучших твоих презентаций, пожалуйста,продолжи эту тему также всжатой форме,С уважением Константин Тверской. Всем парням фермерам из Америки огромный Привет.
Planning a 200 strong pool party for your 4 year old...😅. Thank you John for making biology fun and followable. I appreciate your AEA Chief Storyteller job title. Keep up the open giving spirit that a rebirth of regenerative practices require. We have siloed so much , we don't need bigger barns but share like neighbors.
John, I smiled throughout this podcast. So funny. What a clever, attention-getting analogy! You never fail to amaze me. I am writing an article about Soil Health and Sea Turtles. Sounds strange but makes sense. I’ll forward it to you when it’s finished. I met your precious little Grace a few years ago at an Acres conference. ❤ I am certain she is enjoying her summertime pool!
A pioneer tree is a little different from a keystone speciea. A pioneer tree helps both above and below ground in significant ways. Above it provides fodder for livestock, as well as seeds/leaves for both people and to sustain larger animals. It may provide additional wind protection and also thorns to prevent over harvesting. It can develop deep, persistent roots that break up hardpan soil and allow water to penetrate deeper, and to get water as well as create deep carbon pathways into the soil. It is a nitrogen-fixer and thus feeds/encourages other plant life. It has a low allelopathic tendency, too. It forms relationships mycelium that function to move moisture and nutrients closer to the surface. It can be an introduced plant. A keystone species can be plant or animal that *a particular biome* is dependent on for general continued function. It's the thing that helps all the landrace plants and animals need to keep their unique relationships...
I seem to remember in the Dr. James White episode that he mentioned an issue with TOO MUCH carbon, and that though it increased photosynthesis, sometimes it caused a deficiency? Up until this point, I would have considered that contradictory. Are there times when we can see increased photosynthesis (I assume because we measure leaf brix regularly) but also an increase of problems in the plant? This benefit of diversity is something that is not well understood in much of the permaculture crowd. I think we need findings like those of Dr. Jones to go deeper! Thanks, -Kat
Has the knowledge regarding foliar absorption of Ca changed? I noted Accelerate is advised as a foliar (primarily) and that the principle ingredients included calcium. Is calcium absorbed by the leaves or is it still primarily a root supplement? Thx.

Hi John, are you talking about disease-suppressing cover crops which give reducing soil? Keystone cover crop species?

Excellent I am from India your podcast made revolutionary change in my knowledge Thanks

It seems like soil created plants to feed itself and protect it from sun, wind and rain.
