Soil Stories - Dr. Jim Ippolito, Professor at The Ohio State University

Dr. Jim Ippolito is a professor of environmental soil health. His 30+ year career has focused on improving environmental soil fertility/chemistry/microbiology/soil health within agricultural, shortgrass steppe, grazed, burned, and metal-contaminated mined-land ecosystems. His research program connects the intimate linkages between soil macro- and micro-nutrients, trace and heavy metals, microbiological activity, and soil physical attributes, and how these factors combine to influence ecosystem sustainability, resiliency, food, climate, and environmental security. In this short video, Jim shares about his relationship with the soil to celebrate the first Ohio Soil Health Week from November 10-16, 2024. Learn more at https://ohiosoilhealthweek.com.
