[Terrapreta] biochar and sugarcane growth (reply to AD Karve) (cont'd, part 3)

[Allan Balliett]

Somebody pop me if I'm in error here: I think the high fungal soils 
are a soil oriented focus for what we see on the surface as plant 
succession. As the soil becomes more diversified and fungus in the 
soil is thriving, more complex plants will be supported by the soil. 
Complex plants do not do well in the 'younger,' bacterial soils, but 
as long as appropriate host plants remain available to support the 
fungi (such as many grasses), I see no reason why annual plants would 
not function as well, or better, in the more diverse, hi-fungal 
soils. I think, if nothing else, they would be less prone to (fungal) 
disease.

What do you think?
