Abiotic stress is the drought.

Plants are nourished by earth.

We are after all organic creatures, and the culture of the school is absolutely essential.

Plants take in water from the soil.

Now, all of that grass you see aboveground has to decay biologically before the next growing season, and if it doesn't, the grassland and the soil begin to die.

This is quite common.

Rich soil yields good crops.

You can take virtually any parameter that matters for human well being nitrous oxide, methane, deforestation, overfishing

Before our scientific magicians poisoned the water polluted the soil, decimated plant and animal life.

By some biological or psychic mechanism

Now this quest started four billion years ago on planet Earth.

The global economy grows exponentially, at about 3 a year, consuming increasing amounts of non renewable fuels, minerals and metals, as well as renewable resources

The town had a vermiculite mine in it.

To change the community you have to change the composition of the soil.

I collect soil samples.

So this is the great paradigm.

Biologicals here.

Should aluminum be in the soil and the rain?

which is going to cause air pollution, water pollution,

The marvel of this information

And some of them,

So what about the next step?

What we had failed to understand was that these seasonal humidity environments of the world, the soil and the vegetation developed with very large numbers of grazing animals, and that these grazing animals developed with ferocious pack hunting predators.

Now we know that desertification is caused by livestock, mostly cattle, sheep and goats, overgrazing the plants,

Can you imagine the potential offspring applications environmental detection of pollutants in soils, customs applications, detection of illicit goods in containers and so on.

Worms are sometimes beneficial to soil.

The soil retained richness.

But what are the conditions that make it possible?

Water resources are running low.

I said, What can you build in this place?

the man's an extortionist. all right, here's the situation.

Agriculture is defined as the cultivation of soil for growing crops.

And we do a lot of work here.

The rain washed away the soil.

And these are not esoteric limits.

I've gone back to the history of the first cities

And here it is

It's kind of the model that has worked in other contexts.

(Laughter)

A conscious approach to design,

And the message I want to leave you with is, consciousness has to become accepted as a genuine biological phenomenon, as much subject to scientific analysis as any other phenomenon in biology, or, for that matter, the rest of science.

That soil is rich in humus.

You can't get a tree to grow on bad soil.
