Can soil remember the past?

06 May 2025 1 5K Report

Exploring the concept of soil memory and its impact on plant health and ecosystem resilience.

Simranpreet Kaur

Yes, soil can be seen as a "living archive" of past environmental and ecological conditions. This concept, known as "soil memory," refers to the information stored within the soil profile about past events and conditions. While it's not a literal memory like a human's, soil retains evidence of past events through various mechanisms.

Thanks!
