(Phys.org) —In the first efforts to directly link 1) soil physical structure with microbial community composition in single aggregates, and then 2) composition directly with bioactivity, scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Argonne National Laboratory studied soil macroaggregates, or clumps
