And then there\u2019s  a number of other species that live in the soil that break down the soil organic matter  and  make sure that  it\u2019s turned over and that  the nutrients are available for  plants to use. <\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAccording to Jim Herbers, the new species of  mites were identified for the ABMI  by scientists at the Royal Alberta Museum.\n<\/p>\n<p><b><em><br \/>\nLearn more at InnovationAnthology.com<\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nI&#8217;M CHERYL CROUCHER <\/b>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Guest<\/h2>\n<h3> , <\/h3>\n<h4>, , , , <\/h4>\n<h2>Sponsor<\/h2>\n<h3><a href=\"\"><\/a><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/innovationanthology.com\/uploads\/\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Program Date:<\/strong>\u00a02009-10-20<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When researchers for the <b>Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute<\/b> collect samples from the 1656 monitoring sites across the province, they check for all kinds of life.
