The ongoing heat waves in southern Spain during the summer months have detrimental effects on the local ecosystem, impacting both humans and the soil's microbial community.
These heat events challenge the resilience of the organisms that inhabit the area, highlighting the interconnectedness of human health and soil vitality.
Recent studies indicate that incorporating organic waste into the soil could potentially improve its tolerance to temperatures reaching 50°C, offering a possible solution to mitigate these extreme conditions.
