Smithsonian Scientist Ben Turner Excavates Jurien Dunes Soil Profile (IMAGE)
Caption
Ben Turner, staff scientist at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, would like to know how some of the world's worst soils in southwestern Australia support a great diversity of plants. Discoveries about nutrient uptake by plants in poor soils could make it possible for people to grow crops on degraded land everywhere.
