We offer comprehensive microscopic biological assessment of soil samples. Whether you collect the samples yourself or prefer our team to assist, each sample is processed within 48 hours. Shadowing microscopy is used to determine the count and biomass of microorganisms including nematodes, protozoa (amoeba, flagellates and ciliates), fungi, and bacteria. This assessment provides valuable data on soil health, nutrient cycling, and biological community composition. Additional fees apply if on-site support is required for soil collection.
Measures provided: Bacterial biomass (ug/g), fungal biomass (ug/g), count of nematodes per gram, identified to their food source (bacteria, fungi, root, predatory), count of protozoa per gram (amoeba, flagellates and ciliates)
I and my students use quantitative analyses of food and wine production systems to reveal linkages between ecological and social sustainability, “quality”, and the primacy of place … “Ecogastronomy”
