Mountain microorganisms
Mountain microorganisms (MM) are a diverse mix of bacteria, fungi, yeasts and other tiny organisms that inhabit natural soils, especially in forest and mountain areas. These microorganisms play a crucial role in maintaining the ecological balance and fertility of the soil. These microorganisms are essential for a greener and more sustainable agriculture, helping to revitalize degraded soils and reduce the use of chemicals. Regarding water, MM reduce pollutants reaching water sources, improve soil filtration and provide a stable soil structure by controlling erosion and sedimentation in water bodies.
