Thank you Wayne. I have raised such ideas here in the past, to a lukewarm
reception. It's refreshing to come across someone in the industry who has
some insight.
I suspect the flux we witness is linked closely to anthropogenic drivers
and what many view as the 6th extinction event.
What projects were you involved in?

I believe you are right. In fact, I suspect (and supporting evidence
is
growing) that soil microbiomes are the essential component in
ecosystem
health, including, of course, mycorrhizal fungi. I suspect that
microbiomes
are in a constant state of flux, reflecting the dynamic web of life,
from
individual organisms to all ecosystems large and small.
This was the key concept behind ecosystem restoration which I first
worked
out in a very crude (but effective) way in the late '60's and applied
to my
first truly successful (after at least fifteen years of failures)
large-scale ecosystem restoration project in 1972. As I continued to
work
over the years, I was forced (seduced) to consider smaller and
smaller
organisms and their interdependence with other organisms.
So you can see that I was and am truly interested in elaboration on
your
point of trophic "cascades."
