This sounds very exciting! In 2017, following a devastating firestorm in Central Portugal, I responded to a spontaneous urge to research and write about the topic of 'Humus as a living organism'. I'm not a soil scientist, but my instinct told me that the soil herself had been 'cremated'.
After the 'big fire' all public recovery efforts seemed to focus on planting new trees and scattering seeds from airplanes over large areas of black denuded rocks.
Meanwhile the official definition of 'humus' offered by soil science was 'inert substance'.
Good to read and hear about projects dedicated to deepening our understanding of symbiogenesis. Thank you 🙏
