New degradable sensors could reveal insights into the secret—yet essential—microscopic life in soil. The sensors, which are being developed by soil scientists at Lancaster University and researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder and the University of Manchester, track biological activity in soil by using a degradable substrate that is nibbled on by microbes.
