When we think about protecting our environment, we often think of what lives above the land; we think of the trees, the wildlife on our moorlands, and removing plastic from our oceans. But we need to start looking further down, to what truly lies beneath our feet and beyond what our eyes can see; we need to look to what inhabits our soils.

Contrary to what you might think, it turns out that global temperatures briefly increased as a result of worldwide lockdowns. Here's why:
