natural process – a process existing in or produced by nature (rather than by the intent of human beings); “the action of natural forces”; “Lightning...
In nature, soil functions as a filter, decomposing and recycling chemical and organic materials, providing plants the natural nutrients needed for sustained growth. It also...
Water emerging from some deep ground water, may have fallen as rain many tens, hundreds, thousands of years ago. Soil and rock layers naturally filter the ground water to a high...
Successful vegetation is dependent upon the quality of the soil. Poor soil yields poor crops, while good, rich soil increases biomass and leads to abundant...
The components or “matrix” of PermaMatrix is the heart of practicing sustainable soil management. In healthy soils there resides a world unseen to the naked eye, an...
Soil disturbances are both natural, i.e. flooding, slides, etc. or caused by man thru infrastructure improvement or development. These disturbances need to be addressed, and a...
If large disturbances of soil are left bare and degraded, they become subjected to accelerated erosion and the threat of desertification as a result. Opencast mines of solid...
Soil supports the growth of a variety of plants, animals, and soil microorganisms, usually by providing a diverse physical, chemical, and biological...
PermaMatrix ™ Biotic Soil Amendment is the ideal solution for areas where the topsoil has been severely disturbed, depleted or removed. PermaMatrix™ has been designed as a...
Nitrogen fixation is the natural process, either biological or abiotic, by which nitrogen (N2) in the atmosphere is converted into ammonia (NH3). This process is essential for...
Lightning strikes start fires in natural systems. Fire ecology is the processes linking the natural incidence of fire in an ecosystem and the ecological effects of this fire....
Many plant species in naturally fire-affected environments require fire to germinate. Fire is an integral component in the function and biodiversity of many natural habitats....
The remnants of a fire creates biochar, or charcoal, known in PermaMatrix as EcoChar™. Soil scientists and microbiologists have discovered that a community of bacteria, fungi...
PermaMatrix™ replicates the ecology of fire without the flame in the addition of biochar. As a biotic soil amendment, PermaMatrix with biochar creates a recalcitrant soil...
