In an article in the journal Soil Biologyand Biochemistry titled “Soil texture affects soil microbial and structural recovery during grassland recovery” written by Elizabeth M. Bach, Sara G. Baer, Clinton K. Meyer, and Johan Six demonstrates the importance soil structure and microbial activity have on the success of plant growth in a grassland environment. The authors use a plethera of scientific data showing how tilling soil desrupts structure as well as the necessary microbial activity needed to have a successful grassland. Their purpose in this article is to stress how important soil structure and microbial activity are to the success of grassland species. The authors’ intended audience for this article is biological and ecological proffessionals due to their use of field related terminology.
