Applying modern techniques including shotgun metagenome sequencing, X-ray computed tomography and pore-scale hydrodynamic modelling reveals new insights into soil system behaviour, provides the knowledge base for a new theory of soil and fundamental evidence to support farmers' decisions relating to soil management.
