Soil

Soil respiration is measured by how fast a soil sample uses up oxygen. That tells us about the micro-organisms in the soil- the more there are , and the more active they are, the more air they'll need to "breathe". So, a soil sample that uses more air is likely to have more microbes at work in it, and probably also more worms and other larger soil organisms.

the soil as a living medium, one where living creatures can process organic and mineral matter that make them available to plants.

Nature herself is always willing to help in this process, and enthusiastically provides "green manure" plants without being asked. We generally call them weeds, and often set out to eliminate them. But weeds have their place, as long as it is not one that threatens the crop.

We has a more tolerant attitude to weeds - so long as the crop is not threatened, weeds can serve several valuable purposes. They can provide habitats for predators - such as hoverflies- that will help deal with insect pests. Typically, a biodynamically managed crop will contain a much greater range of weed species than a conventionally managed one, where there may be just a few weed types - perhaps those that are resistant to a specific herbicide. It is worth stressing, however, that tolerance to weeds extends only as far as the crop can allow - it doesn't mean that a crop can be allowed to become threatened by vigorous intruders in any way.
