can drastically affect the capacity of these spaces and future conditions for future ecologies.Intensive agricultural management, particularly long-term monoculture, can override these natural selection processes, leading to "soil sickness." This phenomenon is characterized by a shift in pathogenic and beneficial microbial populations, negatively impacting soil fertility and crop yield. For example, continuous sugarcane planting has been shown to reduce soil microbial diversity and alter community composition compared to intercropping systems.
