Docket No. OATH-015.PCT [0043] In certain embodiments, microbes included in a composition herein are biologically pure. As used herein, a "pure" or “biologically pure” organism or population of organisms, such as microbe or microbial population, or the like, includes a population of organisms in the absence of other species or types. A "substantially pure culture" includes a culture which contains substantially no other microbes than the desired strain or strains, e.g., other microbes may be present but not in quantities and/or forms that interfere with the intended use of the culture. A substantially pure culture includes a culture that is substantially free of other contaminants, which can include microbial contaminants as well as undesirable chemical contaminants. [0044] In certain embodiments, microbes included in a composition herein are isolated. As used herein, "isolate," "isolated," "isolated microbe," “isolated microorganism” and like terms, include the meaning that the one or more microbes has been separated from at least one of the materials with which it is associated in a particular environment (for example soil, water, plant tissue). Thus, an "isolated microbe" does not exist in its naturally occurring environment; rather, the microbe has been removed from its natural setting and placed into a non-naturally occurring state of existence. [0045] In certain embodiments, microbes of a composition or method are heterologous to each other, and/or heterologous to a soil, plant, plant part, seed, seedling, plant propagule, or other substance in association with the microbes; in certain embodiments at least 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 17, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 or 100 and/or not more than 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 17, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90100, 120, or 140, preferably 2-140, more preferably 2-100, even more preferably 2-80, still more preferably 2-60, yet more preferably 2-40 for example at least 2, preferably at least 3, more preferably at least 4, even more preferably at least 5, yet more preferably at least 7, still more preferably at least 10 microbes of a composition or method are heterologous to each other, or heterologous to a soil, plant, plant part, seed, seedling, plant propagule, or other substance in association with the microbes. As used herein, the terms “heterologous,” "exogenous,” and the like, when referring to one material related to a second material, include a material that is not naturally associated with the second material. Thus, a microbe is considered heterologous to a plant or a plant part, such as a root, or a seed, or the like, if the microbe is not found in nature associated with the particular plant, plant part (e.g., root), seed, or the like, or is not found in the number indicated; in some cases, a population of microbes may contain some microbes that are heterologous to the material, and some that are not heterologous (i.e., normally found with the material) to the material. A microbe can also be heterologous to another microbe if the two are not naturally found together, or are not found in the numbers and/or ratios indicated.

Particulate compositions. [0049] In certain embodiments, provided herein are compositions comprising particles, such as particles comprising one of the microbial compositions provided herein. As used herein a “particle,” or “particles” include discrete objects larger than atoms or molecules; a particle can be large enough to be seen with the naked eye, or microscopic. “Particle size” includes size as determined by methods used in the art, in particular, sieving. [0050] In certain embodiments, provided herein are compositions comprising a plurality of particles wherein each particle comprises a composition comprising one or more microbes. The particles of the composition may be any suitable size; in some cases particles are all within a certain size range, in other cases particles may be present in two or more populations, each of which is within a different size range. In certain embodiments the particles have a median particle size of at least 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160, 170, 180, 190, 200, 220, 250, 370, 300, or 400 um and/or no more than 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160, 170, 180, 190, 200, 220, 250, 270, 300, 400, or 500 um, for example 20- 500 um, preferably 90-270 um, more preferably 140-220 um, even more preferably 160-200 um, still more preferably 170-190 um. In certain embodiments, at least 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 95, 97, 98, or 99% and/or not more than 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 95, 97, 98, 99, 99.5, or 100%, or 100%, for example 10-100%, preferably 20-100%, more preferably 50-100%, even more preferably 80-100%, still more preferably 90-100% of the particles have a mean particle Docket No. OATH-015.PCT size of at least 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160, 170, 180, 190, 200, 220, 250, 370, 300, or 400 um and/or no more than 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160, 170, 180, 190, 200, 220, 250, 270, 300, 400, or 500 um, for example 20-500 um, preferably 90-270 um, more preferably 140-220 um, even more preferably 160-200 um, still more preferably 170-190 um. [0051] In certain embodiments, such as embodiments where the composition comprises at least 60, 70, 80, 90, 92, 95, 97, 98, 99, or 99.5%, or 100%, microbes (wt%), particles may have a mean or median particle size of at least 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 0.7, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, or 20 um and/or not more 0.2, 0.5, 0.7, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, or 40 um, preferably 0.2-40 um, more preferably 0.5-20 um, even more preferably 1-20 um, still more preferably 1-15 um, yet more preferably 2-15 um, even still more preferably 2-12 um. [0052] In certain embodiments, larger particles may be used, e.g., in compositions for aerial application and/or some delayed release compositions larger particles may be used, for example, with a mean size, or a median size, of at least 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000, 1500, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, or 7000 um and/or no more than 150, 200, 250, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000, 1500, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 7000, or 10,000 um, or even larger, such as 200-10,000, preferably 500-5000, more preferably 1000-10,000 um. Such larger particulate compositions can be useful, for example to allow for release of microbes in two or more batches as the particles are subject to conditions that allow release of microbes from the surface of the particles but others are retained in the particle until the conditions occur again (e.g., rainfall, irrigation, or the like, see below). It will be understood that for any composition in which a plurality of populations of particles is used, with different particle sizes, any suitable sizes may be used for the composition. [0053] Certain particulate compositions are dry compositions. Certain particulate compositions consist essentially of a microbial composition. Certain particulate compositions comprise a microbial composition that includes one or more agricultural adjuvants. 4. Delayed release compositions [0054] In certain embodiments, delayed release compositions are provided. A “delayed release” composition, as that term is used herein, includes a composition that does not release at least a portion of its active ingredients, e.g., microbes, on first exposure to the environment, or to an environmental trigger in the environment in which it will be used; in certain embodiments, a delayed release composition can release a portion of its active ingredients, e.g., microbes, on first exposure, so long as an additional portion is not released, while in other embodiments none of the active ingredients, e.g., microbes, is released on first exposure. Any suitable materials and Docket No. OATH-015.PCT configuration may be used, so long as not all of the microbes are released on first exposure to the environment of use or environmental trigger. Materials useful in providing delayed release compositions are well-known in the art; while many of these are useful in pharmaceutical preparations, suitable modifications, if necessary, will be readily apparent. In general materials and/or configurations of such compositions are such that microbes are confined to the composition during normal conditions of manufacture and transport, but that release at least a portion of the microbes on exposure to one or more environmental triggers, that is, one or more conditions found in the environment of use. Any suitable trigger may be used, such as water, electromagnetic radiation (e.g., sunlight, or certain wavelengths of sunlight), temperature, or even air (e.g., if particles are relatively unexposed to air during transport and storage, for example in an airtight bag, then start to degrade on exposure to air, e.g., when placed in their environment of use), or a combination thereof. In certain embodiments, an environmental trigger is water, which can come from, e.g., rainfall, irrigation, or the like. In general, “exposure to” the environmental trigger or trigger includes sufficient exposure of the composition that the process that occurs to release microbes can occur. [0055] In certain embodiments, provided is a delayed release composition comprising a plurality of particles, each of which comprises a composition comprising microbes, wherein the plurality of particles comprises a first population of particles wherein each particle of the first population comprises one or more first components configured to confine at least a portion of the microbes to the particles, and wherein the one or more first components are such that the one or more first components lose sufficient integrity upon exposure to one or more environmental triggers that at least a portion of the confined microbes are released from the particles. In certain embodiments, the composition comprises a microbial composition as provided herein. In certain embodiments the first components are configured to confine at least 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 95, 96, 97, 98, or 99% of the microbes, for example at least 60%, preferably at least 80%, more preferably at least 90%, even more preferably at least 95%. Any suitable configuration of the first components may be used. In certain embodiments the first components form a shell wherein the microbes are confined within, and/or embedded in, and/or associated with a surface of, the shell. In certain embodiments the one or more first components form a matrix in which the microbes are embedded or otherwise associated. In certain embodiments the one or more first components form a plurality of lamellae, wherein the particles are confined between, and/or embedded in, and/or associate with a surface of, the lamellae. It will be appreciated that any or all of these may be combined in particles. In certain embodiments the environmental trigger comprises water, air, temperature, electromagnetic radiation, or a combination thereof. In certain embodiments the environmental trigger is water, for example, water from rainfall, irrigation, or Docket No. OATH-015.PCT even humidity of the air. In certain embodiments, exposure to the trigger is sufficient to release all the microbes; in other embodiments, repeated exposures and/or duration of exposure is required.

Carbon [0091] Provided herein are methods and compositions associated with increasing carbon content of soil and/or plants growing in soil by a method that includes applying a microbial composition or derivative thereof to the soil. The microbial composition or derivative may be applied directly to the soil, e.g., as part of a liquid or solid composition. In certain cases, a microbial composition is considered “applied to” the soil if seeds, seedlings, or other plant propagules comprising the microbial composition are applied to soil and allowed to grow. Such treatment can alter the characteristics of the soil and plants growing in the soil so that more carbon is moved from the atmosphere into the soil and/or plants than would occur without application of the microbial composition or derivative thereof. In most cases, no other changes, or minimal changes, to soil or plants need be used, e.g., it is not necessary to alter plant type, agricultural practices, or the like, to increase the carbon content. The methods can reduce or even eliminate a carbon footprint for an agricultural operation, such as cultivation of the commercial or other crops, or raising domesticated animals, or even create a carbon-negative Docket No. OATH-015.PCT operation. Thus, for example, domesticated animal production, such as livestock production, can be converted from an activity that is a significant contributor to global carbon emissions to one that contributes significantly less carbon, or is even carbon negative. In certain cases, microbial composition or derivative thereof is applied to areas that are largely or completely uncultivated. In certain cases microbial composition or derivative thereof is applied to one or more grasslands, such as one or more grasslands that are largely or completely uncultivated. In certain cases microbial composition or derivative thereof, is applied to one or more forests, such as one or more forests that are largely or completely uncultivated. In certain cases, some or all of the land to which microbial composition or derivative thereof comprises damaged soil and/or plant ecosystem, such as a deforested area. In certain cases, application of microbial composition or derivative thereof is conducted on a large scale, such as treating hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions, of square miles. In such cases, enormous amounts of carbon may be removed from the atmosphere and converted to carbon in the soil and/or plants. [0092] The use of microbial compositions or derivatives thereof can confer additional benefits in addition to increasing removal of carbon from atmosphere to soil and/or plants. These can include one or more of reduced water use to grow the plants, increased biomass of plants, increased bioavailability of plant nutrients in soil, increased uptake of nutrients by the plants, increased nutrient content of the plants, improvements in soil characteristics, such as density, water holding capacity, and/or content of beneficial microbes, compared to without use of the microbial composition or derivative thereof. Thus, it is possible for a user to enjoy one or more economic benefits, including a financial benefit related to the increased conversion of atmospheric carbon to carbon in soil and/or plants. [0093] Thus, in certain embodiments, a method comprises enhancing a rate at which atmospheric carbon is converted to carbon products in soil in which plants are grown and/or in the plants comprising applying a composition comprising one or more microbes to the plants and/or soil in a first application, wherein the rate is greater than that for reference soil and/or plants wherein the plants are grown without the composition.

Reducing water use [00130] Water is becoming a scarce commodity, and droughts and other extreme weather events are becoming more common, thus it is desirable to reduce the amount of water needed to germinate, grow, and/or maintain plants. Provided herein are methods and compositions for reducing water use for plants, e.g., reducing the amount of water necessary to germinate, grow and/or maintain plants, using a composition comprising one or more microorganisms, e.g., a plurality of microorganisms; reduction of water use is generally as compared to water use before the use of the composition. It will be appreciated that reduced water use in an operation where water is provided to plants for growth will considerably reduce the costs associated with the operation. A reduced need for water, and improvements to soil, e.g., as described herein, can also provide increased drought resistance, both for commercially raised plants as well as plants that are uncultivated, e.g., plants in grazing lands, grasslands, forests, and the like. It can also reduce the frequency and/or severity of environmental insults, such as fires, e.g., wildfires and/or floods, due to a variety of factors which can include greater water content of the plants and/or soil, improved plant and soil health, increased production of plant substances that confer resistance to fire, and/or greater plant density. Larger areas of land may also become available for plants, e.g., for agriculture as water requirements are reduced. Grasslands, rangelands, forests, and other non-irrigated areas can also see an increase in areas in which plants grow. Other concomitant effects can occur, such increases in plant biomass, community biodiversity, e.g., microbial community biodiversity, nutritional components of plants, soil and/or plant carbon, and/or other beneficial effects, such as effects described herein. [00131] In certain embodiments provided herein is a method of reducing water use for growth and/or maintenance of plants in soil comprising allowing the plants to grow and/or be maintained in the soil for a period of time, wherein the soil and/or plants have been treated by (i) applying to the soil, the plants, a first application of a composition comprising a plurality of different Docket No. OATH-015.PCT microbes or a derivative thereof; and (ii) providing suitable conditions for the plants to grow and/or be maintained in the soil for a period of time, thereby decreasing the amount of water necessary to produce a given amount of biomass from the plants and/or to maintain the plants in a desired state, compared to the amount of water necessary to produce the biomass and/or maintain the plants in a desired state for reference soil and plants, for the period of time.

Conversion to organic farming [00150] An agricultural practice can be converted from a non-organic practice to an organic practice in a surprisingly short time if a microbial composition, such as a composition as disclosed herein, is applied to the land and/or plants, e.g., as described herein. An “organic” agricultural practice, as that term is used herein, is a practice that conforms to applicable requirements for organic farming in the area in which the practice is situated. Although requirements may vary, depending on the locality, in general an organic agricultural operation is one in which little or no synthetic fertilizer, pesticide, or herbicide is used and, typically, where soil levels of certain substances, e.g., toxins or other deleterious substances, are below a certain level. Additional or alternative criteria may exist for a given locality. Microbial compositions, such as those disclosed herein, when applied to land and/or plants, e.g., as disclosed herein, restore soil health and vitality and can enable greater nutrient bioavailability and uptake by plants, and can reduce toxin levels in soil, all of which can accelerate the changes necessary to conform to local organic agricultural requirements. Depending on the starting point of the agricultural practice, the changes can occur in as little as three years, two years, or even a year, even if the practice is a conventional farming practice, e.g., a practice reliant or even heavily reliant on use of synthetic fertilizer, pesticide, and herbicide. Additional benefits may also be realized, e.g., as described herein, such as increased plant biomass, increased plant nutrient density, increased soil carbon, and/or reduced water use.

Examples Example 1: Preparation of microbial composition [00230] This example demonstrates two different methods of preparation of a composition comprising a plurality of different microbes from 140 different microbe stocks, corresponding to Designations 1-45 (ATCC Nos. PTA-127367 to PTA-127411) and microbial stocks OATH 46- 140. ATCC stock 46 was prepared with microbes from microbial stocks OATH 46-140 and ATCC stock 47 was prepared with microbes from all 140 stocks. [00231] The compositions were produced using fully aseptic techniques. Microorganisms within each of the 140 different stocks were separately cultured in a laminar airflow cabinet with HEPA filters (0.2 µm). Autoclaves and pressure cookers were used to sterilize the media at 121 ˚C at 1.5 atmospheric pressure for 30 minutes. After autoclaving, ingredients were stored at room temperature of 20-23 ˚C until use. The living microbes in the product were stored in the fridge at 4 ˚C and in liquid glycerol in the freezer at -20 ˚C. The laboratory, storage area, benches and floors in the laboratory were constantly cleaned and sanitized every day with Lysol, ethyl alcohol and bleach to maintain the highest level of cleanness. During manufacturing all standard methods of sterilization were used including hand washing with medical soap and ethyl alcohol for the technicians. The ingredients (the living microbes and the glucose (dextrose which is the carrier) Docket No. OATH-015.PCT were mixed inside laminar airflow cabinet with HEPA filters (0.2 µm) to prevent any possibility of contamination. [00232] In a first procedure, microbes from each stock were separately grown on oatmeal agar (as below for liquid media, but with the addition of agar). The plates were dried in the laminar airflow hood before using them, to prevent moisture accumulation. The plates were inoculated with the spores from a previous plate and spread with sterilized inoculating loop. Twenty plates were prepared for each of the 140 stocks. The plates were incubated in the incubator for at least 10 days at 28 ˚C. After 10 days, all the plates (20 plates for each of the 140 stocks) were scraped using scalpel or a strong sharp knife and the cells and spores were combined with 500 g of glucose to make a stock powder. In some cases, a wetting agent such as Yucca powder was also be added to the dry mix as an organic wetting agent. The aliquot was then filled in sterilized and tightly sealed plastic pouches inside laminar airflow cabinet under aseptic techniques. On average, 100 g of stock powder is used to treat 1 acre. [00233] In a second procedure, the manufacture of the wettable dry products was carried out by growing the microbes in each of the 140 stocks in liquid organic oatmeal broth which contains multivitamins and yeast extract (1gram yeast extract per 1000 mL of water + 0.5 multivitamins per 1000 mL of water). The liquid oatmeal was sterilized in culture bottles at 121 ˚C for 30 min on three successive days to ensure sterilization. Separately for each stock, liquid oat medium was aseptically inoculated with spore suspensions (5 mL) and incubated with constant shaking at 250 rpm at 28 ˚C in the dark for 10 days. In some cases, each individual culture was first grown on an agar/oatmeal plate, as above, then scraped or otherwise separated from the agar into the liquid medium. The liquid/microbe mixes were placed on a shaker. After 10 days of incubation on the shaker, the liquid media were generally combined into a single liquid aliquot, and the cells were harvested by normal filtration and centrifugation at 4000 x g for 20 min. The harvested spores and cells after centrifugation were completely dried in a laminar airflow cabinet with HEPA filters (0.2 µm) for 2 hours in 500 g of glucose as a stock powder. Organic Yucca powder can also be added to the dry mix as an organic wetting agent. The aliquot was then filled in sterilized and tightly sealed plastic pouches inside laminar airflow cabinet under aseptic techniques. On average, 100 g of stock powder is used to treat 1 acre. [00234] All pouches were stored up to 20-23 ˚C in dry conditions. The pouches can stay active for up to 12 months at 20-23 ˚C in dry conditions. Example 2: Increase in soil carbon in soil treated with a composition comprising a plurality of different microbes as disclosed herein Docket No. OATH-015.PCT [00235] This example demonstrates increased soil organic carbon (SOC) levels and increases in soil microbes after treatment of soil in which turf was grown with a composition comprising a plurality of different microbes (generated as described in Example 1) as compared to untreated soil and turf. [00236] The composition comprising a plurality of different microbes (was applied to low bulk density turf; untreated control with the same soil and plants was also used. At 6 months post-treatment, soil organic carbon levels were measured by loss on ignition for both the treated turf and an untreated control at 6 months post-treatment. Soil organic carbon levels are reported as (weight after heating divided by weight before heating)*100%. Further, abundance of soil microbes was measured for both the treated turf and an untreated control. Briefly, 1 gram of soil was rinsed with water, the water was strained and collected so that the microbe from the soil were present in the strained water, and then cells in a portion of the water were counted under a microscope, and extrapolated to the entire gram of soil. Results are shown in Table 3. The soil organic carbon level 6 months post treatment was 65% higher in treated vs. untreated soil (soil carbon level of 18.70% in treated vs.11.30% in untreated) The treated turf comprised 4,200,000 microbes per gram of soil as compared to 7,900 microbes per gram of soil in the untreated control, a 531-fold increase in total soil microbes due to treatment of turf with the composition. Table 3: soil organic carbon level and soil microbe measurements Treated Untreated Soil organic carbon level [%] 18.70% 11.30%

[00237] This example demonstrates surprisingly rapid and large improvement of soil characteristics, including soil organic carbon level (~65% increased SOC) and microbe per gram soil (531-fold increase) in turf treated with the composition comprising a plurality microbes as compared to untreated turf in just six months. Example 3: Optimized soil bulk density and increased soil moisture content after treatment with a composition comprising a plurality of different microbes as disclosed herein [00238] This example demonstrates improved soil bulk density (SBD) and increased soil moisture content (SMC) in turf soil after treatment with a composition comprising a plurality of different microbes (generated as described in Example 1) as compared to untreated turf soil. [00239] The composition comprising a plurality different microbes was applied to plots of turf in 3 geographically separate locations. Untreated turf was also used as a control. Treated turf was watered daily for 20 minutes. Untreated turf was watered daily for 40 minutes. After 6 months, Docket No. OATH-015.PCT five soil samples were collected at each location from the treated turf and five separate soil samples were collected from untreated control turf. Values for each location were averages of the soil samples for the locations. [00240] Soil bulk density and soil moisture content were determined for each soil sample as follows. [00241] SBD was determined by collecting a soil sample by an auger, drying then weighing the sample, and then dividing the weight of the soil sample by its volume. According to USDA soil quality indicators, the ideal soil density for optimum plant growth in Sandy and Silty soils is between 1.40 to 1.60. Soil density which restricts root growth in Sandy and Silty soils is between 1.65 to 1.80. The results of the study are shown in Table 4 and demonstrate an improvement in soil bulk density of turf treated with the composition comprising a plurality of different microbes as compared to an untreated control, with an average change in soil bulk density at the end of six months into the optimum range, compared to untreated, which was above the optimum range. Table 4: soil bulk density [g cm-3] comparison of treated and untreated soils Treated Untreated Location 1 1.36 1.62
Figure imgf000246_0001
[00242] SMC was determined by oven drying the sample at 100 C for 48 hours, measuring the dried weight of the sample, and the calculating the difference between the fresh soil weight and the dry soil weight. The higher the value of the soil moisture content, the better the soil retains water. The results of the study are shown in Table 5 and demonstrate an improvement in soil moisture content of turf treated with the composition comprising a plurality of different microbes as compared to an untreated control with an average increase in soil moisture content of 107%. Table 5: soil moisture content [%] comparison of treated and untreated soils Treated Untreated
Figure imgf000246_0002
[00243] SMC was further estimated using a neutron probe. Neutron probe readings were taken at each location. The results are shown in Table 6 and correlate with the soil water content as measured above. Docket No. OATH-015.PCT Table 6: soil moisture content [%] comparison of treated and untreated soils as estimated by neutron probe measurements Treated Untreated Location 1 8.00 6.00

characteristics, including optimized soil bulk density and dramatically increased soil water content (~107% increased SWC) in turf treated with the composition comprising a plurality different microbes as compared to untreated turf, in just six months. On average, treatment of soil with the composition comprising a plurality of different microbes improved soil bulk density to within the USDA’s recommended ideal soil density for optimum plant growth. Example 4: Improvements in soil moisture level and reduced water usage in soil after treatment with a composition comprising a plurality of microbes [00245] This example demonstrates reduction of the required application of water in minutes of water per day to keep soil moisture percentage levels at a desired set point after treatment with a composition comprising a different microbes (generated as described in Example 1) as compared to an untreated control. [00246] The following data was compiled over the course of 112 days after treatment of soil in which grass was growing with the composition comprising a plurality of different microbes. Once per week, four soil moisture readings were taken using a water moisture meter from four treated sites and two untreated sites. The four samples included (1) a high moisture area sample, (2) a low moisture area sample, and (3-4) two medium moisture level areas. The average of each site was calculated and documented. Soil moisture content (SMC) was calculated with a digital soil moisture reader for percentages in the top six inches of soil. [00247] The first 30 days were used as a baseline to identify and sustain SMC levels to the target set point by adjusting the duration of watering. After the first 30 days, the duration of watering was reduced to maintain the desired SMC as the plurality of different microbes amended the soil. The results for the four treated sites and two untreated sites are shown in Table 7 (SMC = soil moisture content [%] and WD = watering duration [min]). Measurements are recorded as % soil water saturation. Table 7: moisture level and watering duration measurements Day 30 Day 60 Day 90 Day 112

s to 20 minutes. The 20 minute watering duration resulted in an average SMC of 95%. By day 112, treated location 2 saw a reduction in watering duration from 40 minutes to 10 minutes. The 10 minute watering duration resulted in an average SMC of 100%. By day 112, treated location 3 saw a reduction in watering duration from 40 minutes to 15 minutes. The 15 minute watering duration resulted in an average SMC of 95%. By day 112, treated location 4 saw a reduction in watering duration from 40 minutes to 25 minutes. The 20 minute watering duration resulted in an average SMC of 90%. The untreated locations required a water duration of 40 minutes to achieve 90% and 80% SMC, respectively. Temperatures at the sites were extremely high, reaching over 100º F. It was the opinion of experts that turf quality was better than control areas in the treated areas, with reduced water usage. [00249] Further, soil water holding capacity (WHC) of the soil samples were measured. Briefly, two cup cutter cores, one treated and one non-treated, were weighed on an analytical balance, placed into separate tared, plastic buckets, and saturated to run off with tap water twice to make sure that each core retained the maximum amount of water. Fully saturated cores were weighted again and placed on a lab bench at room temperature. The samples were weighed every 24 hours until completely dry. Data is shown in Figure 3. After moisture saturation, treated sample weight increased by 31% while untreated weight increased by 24% moisture, demonstrating a higher initial WHC for treated soil than untreated soil. After 12 days, the untreated sample decreased in weight by 40.69% and was completely dry, while the treated sample decreased in weight by only 17.50% and possessed adequate moisture for plant growth. It was of the opinion of experts that soil texture was noticeably different and more sponge like in treated sample. [00250] This example demonstrates a substantial increase in WHC and reduction in required watering duration after treatment with a composition comprising a plurality of different microbes as compared to untreated controls. Water requirements were reduced by a minimum of 25% after 30 days and by a minimum of 50% after 90 days, while demonstrated soil water content as good as or better than untreated, after only one application of the soil microbes. Further reductions could likely be achieved in temperatures less extreme than those of this test. Docket No. OATH-015.PCT Example 5: Increases in root length and reductions in water usage following treatment with a composition comprising a plurality of different microbes as disclosed herein [00251] This example demonstrates increased root length and reduced water usage for turf treated with a composition comprising a plurality of different microbes (generated as described in Example 1). [00252] The soil organic matter of a plot of turf was measured to be 0.2% and the root length was measured to be an average of 1.5”. Soil organic matter was measured by loss on ignition as previously described. The composition comprising a plurality of different microbes was then applied to the plot. After 2 months root length was measured. Root length increased from an average of 1.5” to an average of 7” after treatment with the composition comprising a plurality of microbes. [00253] Further, total water usage was measured monthly and compared to the historical median average for the 4 years prior to treatment. Data is shown in Table 8. For Month 1 following treatment, 8,579,656 gallons of water were used per acre of treated turf as compared to a required 11,518,832 in the years prior to treatment (34.3% reduction in water usage). For Month 2 following treatment, 6,373,645 gallons of water were used per acre of treated turf as compared to a required 13,034,040 in the years prior to treatment (104.5% reduction in water usage). For Month 3 following treatment, 5,089,792 gallons of water were used per acre of treated turf as compared to a required 7,110,068 in the years prior to treatment (39.6% reduction in water usage). For Month 4 following treatment, 4,226,287 gallons of water were used per acre of treated turf as compared to a required 2,701,304 in the years prior to treatment (54.4% increase in water usage). Of note, is that two of the four years, an additional 2 inches of rainfall occurred skewing the median average. For Month 5 following treatment, 2,896,815 gallons of water were used per acre of treated turf as compared to a required 4,425,056 in the years prior to treatment (52.7% reduction in water usage). Four the 5 months tested, an average of 5,433,239 gallons of water were used per acre of treated turf as compared to an average of 7,757,860 gallons of water used per acre of untreated turf, an average reduction of 42.8% water usage.

Docket No. OATH-015.PCT [00254] This example demonstrates increased root length and significant 42.8% average reduced water usage for turf treated with a composition comprising a plurality of different microbes as compared to the same turf prior to treatment. Further, the increase of root length from an average of 1.5” to an average of 7” after treatment with the plurality of different microbes roughly correlates to root biomass. In the case of root biomass, it is generally thought that increases in root biomass are a major contributor to soil carbon content. Example 6: Increases in beneficial microbes following treatment with a microbial consortium [00255] This example demonstrates increased beneficial microbe abundance in turf soil after treatment with a composition comprising a plurality of different microbes (generated as described in Example 1) as compared to an untreated control.

Further, soil organic carbon levels were on average 18.7% in treated soil as compared to 11.3% for untreated soil, a 65% increase. Docket No. OATH-015.PCT [00273] This example demonstrates an enormous increase in beneficial microbes and a substantial increase in soil carbon after treatment with a composition comprising a plurality of different microbes of the type as disclosed herein. These results demonstrate a pioneering example of soil amendment and resulting astonishing improvement, in both microbiome and carbon content, after an exceptionally time after a single treatment. Example 11: Increased beneficial microbe abundance following treatment with a microbial consortium [00274] This example demonstrates increased beneficial microbe abundance in turf soil after treatment with a composition comprising a plurality of different microbes (generated as described in Example 1) as compared to an untreated control.

Beneficial microbes (fungi and bacteria) were on average 47,833-fold higher than day 0 in treated soil as compared to on average 0.67-fold that of day 0 for untreated soil (Table 15). [00281] This example demonstrates a substantial large and rapid (only 17 days) increase in beneficial organisms in treated soil, while untreated soil showed a slight increase in one case and significant decrease in two cases. These results demonstrate a pioneering example of soil amendment and enormous increase in beneficial microbes, in soil treated with a composition comprising a plurality of different microbes of the type as disclosed herein over just 17 days, compared to, on average, a decrease in beneficial microbes in untreated soil over 17 days. Example 13: Increasing growth in existing forests or reforestation with a composition comprising a plurality of different microbes as disclosed herein [00282] Soils treated with a plurality of different microbes as disclosed herein have been shown to require at least 35% less water than untreated soils, in some cases at least 50% less (see examples above and below). Further soils treated with a plurality of different microbes have been shown to increase tree growth by over at least 50% after 180 days (see examples above and below). Therefore, applying a plurality of different microbes to forested or deforested soils improves tree growth both above- and below-ground, thus sequestering atmospheric carbon, increasing chances of survival and robust growth of seeds or seedlings, and increasing drought tolerance and pest resistance of plants growing in those soils. [00283] In a first procedure, a composition comprising a plurality of different microbes as disclosed herein is formulated into a plurality of delivery compositions such that they can be delivered aerially to soils to be treated. The aerial delivery device is manned or unmanned, for example a drone. The plurality of delivery compositions is formulated such that they can be loaded onto the aerial delivery device and delivered to the soil. The delivery compositions can be further formulated as a delayed release formulation, such that a percentage of the delivery compositions’ contents is released over time rather than immediately upon delivery. The aerial delivery device delivers the compositions to a forested area such that at least a portion of the forested area receives the delivery compositions. After the application, trees grow more robustly, become more drought- and pest-resistant, and sequester significantly more amounts of carbon in Docket No. OATH-015.PCT soil compared to before the application. A monetary return may be realized based on the additional carbon sequestered and the price per metric ton of carbon sequestered. [00284] In a second procedure, a delivery composition is formulated that comprises a plurality of different microbes as disclosed herein and a plurality of seeds or seedlings of forest trees; the delivery composition is formulated as microbes coating the seeds, separate from the seeds, or both. The delivery compositions are loaded onto an aerial delivery device such as a drone and delivered to a forested area with a low or no density of trees, for example an area that recently experienced fire damage or deforestation by other means. The aerial delivery device delivers the delivery compositions such that the delivery compositions preferably enters the ground, where, upon entering the ground, the composition begins to dissolve such that the seed can sprout under appropriate conditions. The aerial delivery device delivers the delivery composition containing a seed or seedling such that the seeds or seedlings will be spaced based on the respective species of tree being planted. Since the plurality of different microbes amends the soil, increasing the rate of seedling growth and reducing the require amounts of water, the seeds and seedlings experience increased survival rate (the amount of viable seedlings per planting) as compared to methods delivering seeds without the plurality of microbes. After the application, the seeds or seedlings grow to mature trees, and sequester significantly more amounts of carbon both in the vegetation of the trees and in soil compared to before the planting and application of microbes. A monetary return may be realized based on the additional carbon sequestered and, e.g., the price per metric ton of carbon sequestered. Example 14: Increasing carbon sequestration in grasslands following treatment with a composition comprising a plurality of different microbes as disclosed herein [00285] Soils treated with a plurality of different microbes as disclosed herein have been shown to require approximately 35% less water than untreated soils (see Examples 4 and 9). Further soils treated with a plurality of different microbes have been shown to increase grass growth by over 50% after 180 days (See Examples 5-8) as well as reducing or eliminating pests that can limit grass growth. Therefore, applying a plurality of different microbes to existing grasslands improves plant growth both above- and below-ground, resulting in significant carbon sequestration from the atmosphere. [00286] In a first procedure, a composition comprising a plurality of different microbes as disclosed herein is formulated into a plurality of delivery compositions such that they can be deployed aerially to soils to be treated. The aerial delivery device is manned or unmanned, for example a drone. The plurality of delivery compositions is formulated such that they can be loaded onto the aerial delivery device and delivered to the soil. The aerial delivery device Docket No. OATH-015.PCT delivers the delivery compositions to one or more existing grassland areas comprising, in total, at least 100,000 hectares, for example at least 1,000,000 hectares or at least 100,000,000 hectares, such that the grassland area receives the delivery compositions. After the application, grasses significantly more amounts of carbon in soil compared to before the application, such as at least 2-10 metric tons more per hectare in the first year, with continued carbon sequestration in following years. A monetary return may be realized based on the carbon sequestered and the price per metric ton of carbon sequestered. [00287] In a second procedure, the delivery compositions are further formulated as a delayed release formulation, such that a percentage of the delivery compositions’ contents is released over time rather than immediately upon delivery. The aerial delivery device delivers the delivery compositions to an existing grassland area comprising at least 100,000 hectares, for example at least 1,000,000 hectares such that the grassland area receives the delivery compositions. The delivery compositions release the microbes over time, so that the grasslands have extended application of microbes. After the application, grasses sequester significantly more amounts of carbon in soil compared to before the application, such as at least 2-10 metric tons more per hectare in the first year, with continued carbon sequestration in following years. A monetary return may be realized based on the additional carbon and the price per metric ton of carbon sequestered.

[00289] A 30 square meter plot of turf was treated with the composition comprising a plurality of different microbes. Above ground grass cuttings from the plot were taken on three occasions and weighed for shoot biomass. An equivalent area was sampled from a untreated turf control plot. Application of the composition comprising a plurality of different microbes to the turf showed a 72% increase in shoot biomass by the first cutting, a 68% increase in shoot biomass by the second cutting, and a 135% increase in shoot biomass by the third cutting (Table 16) as compared to the control plot.

[00319] Briefly, DNA extraction and 16S gene sequencing was carried out at the Arizona Genomics Institute, University of Arizona. DNA was extracted using ZymoBIOMIC DNA Kit (Zymo Research Inc.) All PCR reactions were performed using the NEB Q5 high-fidelity polymerase kit (New England BioLabs Inc.). Each PCR was done in triplicate with 20 cycles. The bacterial full-length 16S rRNA PCR primers included designated PacBio barcodes. PCR products were purified with AMPure XP beads (BeckmanCoulter Inc.). The amplified DNA was sequenced using the PacBio SMRT sequencing technology according to the standard manufacturers’ conditions. DNA concentration was determined by Qubit quantification using Qubit 2.0 fluorometer and the high sensitivity DNA reagents (Invitrogen). Samples were pooled in equimolar concentration and gel purified using The Wizard® SV Gel and PCR Clean-Up System (Promega). The library size was confirmed on a Tape station (Agilent Technologies) before sequencing.16S gene data was quality checked and filtered and bacterial identities were determined using the BARRNAP tool (https://github.com/tseemann/barrnap). Phylogenetic topography of the 16S sequences was determined using the PhyML Maximum-Likelihood approach (https://ngphylogeny.fr/).

[00321] Streptomyces bacteria constitute the most abundant and potentially significant group of soil Actinobacteria, comprising 10% to 70% of the total bacterial populations in global soils. They are widely recognized as ideal soil probiotics due to their positive impact on nutrient availability in soil ecosystems and plant health. Their lifestyle is diverse, encompassing both freeliving and saprophytic capabilities, as well as the ability to colonize plants. Streptomyces are renowned for their exceptional genetic capacity to produce unique enzymes that catalyze the biosynthesis of antimicrobial compounds, effectively preventing pathogen invasion in soil. Additionally, they excel in the transformation of complex plant polymers such as cellulose, lignin, chitin, and xylan, making them the primary agents responsible for recycling macro and micronutrients. The byproducts generated during primary decomposition serve as substrates for the growth and energy production of other microbes, including fungi and bacteria, as well as plants that would otherwise struggle to access essential building blocks for growth. Furthermore, the majority of Streptomyces species are non-pathogenic, ensuring their compatibility with sustainable agricultural practices and their ability to make positive contributions to soil and plant dynamics. No pathogenic species are included in the consortia as disclosed herein. [00322] Consortia signatures of carbon sequestration: CO2 sequestration and fixation by microbes is widespread in bacterial domains, including Aquificae, Actinobacteria, Chlorobi, Chloroflexi, Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, and Thermodesulfobacteria phyla. Enzymes such as ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCO) and carbonic anhydrase (CA) are extensively studied in these domains. Consortia as disclosed herein harbor bacteria from three of these phyla, namely Actinobacteria, Firmicutes, and Proteobacteria, which utilize the non- photosynthetic pathways. These pathways involve the CA enzyme that plays a key role in hydrating CO2 to bicarbonate. Critical to this process is also the release of the urease enzyme, which catalyzes the formation of urea, maintaining the alkaline pH that promotes the calcification process (the formation of stable calcium carbonate). Of the currently ten identified genera all, except Paenibacillus and Micrococcus harbor genes encoding CA enzymes and are Docket No. OATH-015.PCT therefore also highly likely involved in CO2 sequestration and a long-term solution of storing carbon in soil. [00323] Consortia signatures of plant health promoting factors: Several species of nitrogen fixing bacteria are represented in the consortia as disclosed herein and belong to the Paenibacillus, Bradyrhizobium, Lysinibacillus, Auerimonas, Micrococcus and Microvirga genera. These bacteria offer several additional beneficial functions to the plant host. Paenibacillus, Pseudomonas, and Lysinibacillus bacteria have demonstrated their capacity to directly enhance crop health by facilitating phosphate solubilization and releasing siderophores that assist plants in acquiring essential metals like iron, magnesium, and manganese. Similar enzymatic capacities exist for the hydrolysis of immobile potassium. Taken together, these abilities to dissolve otherwise inert phosphorus and potassium soil complexes, chelate critical elements from soil, as well as fix nitrogen from the atmosphere, play an important role in promoting plant health, root growth, and can reduce the need for additional N-P-K fertilizers. [00324] Soil structure and water conservation: Streptomyces bacteria (such as those within consortia as disclosed herein) are renowned for their ability to produce filamentous hyphae, a feature that significantly contributes to the formation of mycelial networks within the soil. These hyphae intricately intertwine with other soil particles, fungal hyphae, and plant roots, establishing a complex and interconnected network that plays a crucial role in stabilizing soil structure, effectively preventing erosion, and bolstering overall soil stability. The networks also offer other benefits such as enhancing soil porosity, which, in turn, facilitates improved water infiltration and air exchange—factors critical for healthy root growth and nutrient availability. Furthermore, the presence of Streptomyces hyphae (such as Streptomyces within consortia as disclosed herein) creates microhabitats within the soil, providing refuge for various other microbes, thereby promoting biodiversity and facilitating interactions among different soil organisms. [00325] Soil bacteria such as Streptomyces (such as those within consortia as disclosed herein) significantly contribute to water conservation by promoting the formation of soil aggregates through the secretion of gel-like substances like Extracellular Polymeric Substances (EPS). EPS helps stabilize soil structure, preventing water loss through evaporation or flooding. In addition to EPS role in soil structure, they directly shield plant roots from desiccation, further emphasizing their importance in preserving soil moisture. The gel-like EPS matrix not only enhances plant root growth but also improves water infiltration, ultimately assisting in maintaining a balanced water table at a shallower depth. [00326] In conclusion, these findings underscore the substantial contributions of the beneficial soil microbiome and highlights the beneficial function that can be provided by consortia as Docket No. OATH-015.PCT disclosed herein. The application of consortia as disclosed herein presents groundbreaking opportunities to advance soil carbon sequestration, boost crop production, enhance nutrient content in crops, promote water conservation through improved soil structure, reduce reliance on chemical fertilizers, and ensure the long-term fertility and resilience of soils. Example 24: Improved germination rates, root biomass, and shoot biomass from grass seed coated with a composition comprising a plurality of different microbes as disclosed herein [00327] This example demonstrates improved germination rates, increased root biomass, and increased shoot biomass for seeds coated with a composition comprising a plurality of different microbes (generated as described in Example 1) compared to untreated seeds. [00328] Briefly, Fescue grass seeds were either coated with the composition comprising a plurality of different microorganisms or untreated and placed onto steam/heat sterilized turf field soil in flats, 6 flats per treatment group. The flats were 30 inches by 22 inches by 4.5 inches. The seeds were grown under standard greenhouse conditions at 24 ˚C and were watered three times per week for 21 days. Germination rate and time was documented. Germination rate was determined as the number of germinated seeds per planted seed 10 days post seeding. Seedlings were the destructively harvested and evaluated for root and shoot biomass. [00329] Data is shown in Table 23 and Figure 4 shows a comparison of turf resulting from treated (right) and untreated (left) seeds. The treated seeds shown higher germination rates, and increased root and shoot biomass. Specifically, average fresh root biomass for seeds treated with the composition comprising a plurality of different microbes was 11.96 g as compared to 5.23 g for untreated seeds, a 2.28-fold increase. Average fresh shoot biomass for seeds treated with the composition comprising a plurality of different microbes was 16.32 g as compared to 7.27 g for untreated seeds, a 2.24-fold increase.

Specifically, average total root weight increased by 1.62-fold, average total shoot weight increased by 1.58-fold, and average total fruit weight increased by 1.41-fold for treated plants as compared to untreated plants. [00334] This example demonstrates a substantial increase in total root weight, total shoot weight, and total fruit weight following just a single treatment with a composition comprising a plurality of different microbes as disclosed herein. This represents a surprising and unexpected increase in yield by 41% with only a single treatment of the composition. Example 26: Improved yield and fruit quality of pineapple plants treated with a composition comprising a plurality of different microbes as disclosed herein [00335] This example demonstrates increased pineapple yield and fruit quality for plants following treatment with a composition comprising a plurality of different microbes (generated as described in Example 1) as compared to untreated plants. [00336] Briefly, pineapple plants were treated with 369 g/ha/application of the composition comprising a plurality of different microbes at days 14 and 29. Brix, acid %, pH, Vitamin C, carotene, shell firmness, porosity, translucency, blemish, and yield were measured. Docket No. OATH-015.PCT [00337] Treatment with the composition comprising a plurality of different microbes increased Brix to 16.64 as compared to 15.90 for untreated plants (p-value = 0.001). Likewise, Vitamin C increased to 106.2 mg/6 fluid ounce as compared to 93 mg/6 fluid ounce for untreated plants (p-value < 0.001). Acid % (treated: 0.53, untreated 0.53, p-value = 0.81), pH (treated: 3.73, untreated 3.75, p-value = 0.48), and carotene (treated: 5.7, untreated 5.9, p-value = 0.42) were similar between the two treatment groups. Shell firmness (treated: 8.12, untreated 8.20, p- value = 0.61), porosity (treated: 1.85, untreated 1.63, p-value = 0.045), and translucency (treated: 2.38, untreated 2.20, p-value = 0.06) were also similar between the two treatment groups. While porosity was significantly higher for fruit harvested from treated plants as compared to untreated plants, the average rating was lower than 2, which implies acceptable trace to moderate porosity for both treatments. [00338] Plants treated with the composition comprising a plurality of different microbes produced 747 more boxes of marketable idea 6-8 sizes of pineapples (6,303 total boxes as compared to 5,556 total boxes) and 325 fewer non-marketable boxes (undersized fruits, 880 as compared to 1,205 boxes). Further, plants treated with the composition comprising a plurality of different microbes had 456 more fresh fruit boxes (10,751 as compared to 10,295). Plants treated with the composition comprising a plurality of different microbes resulted in 6.3 ton/ha more idea cannery sizes and 5.7 ton/ha more total tonnage than untreated plants. The average fruit weight was similar between the two treatment groups. [00339] This example demonstrates increased pineapple yield and fruit quality for plants following treatment with a composition comprising a plurality of different microbes as compared to untreated plants. Example 27: Improved soybean yield from plants treated with a composition comprising a plurality of different microbes as disclosed herein [00340] This example demonstrates improved soybean yield from plants treated with a composition comprising a plurality of different microbes (generated as described in Example 1) compared to untreated plants. [00341] Briefly 30 square meter plots of soybeans (Glycine Max) were planted with soybean seeds, a first having been treated with the composition comprising a plurality of different microbes at 16 oz/acre and the second untreated. Standard fertilization, pesticides, and irrigation protocols were used on both plots. Soybean pods were harvested when foliage had turned brown and bean pods were ripe and dry. Weight of soybeans (i.e., yield) was measured in the first year and in the second year. In the first year, treated plants produced 17.7 kg of soybeans as compared Docket No. OATH-015.PCT to 9.9 kg for the untreated plants, a 1.8-fold increase. In the second year, treated plants produced 21.9 kg of soybeans as compared to 13.7 kg for the untreated plants, a 1.6-fold increase. [00342] This example demonstrates a substantial increase in soybean yield in the first and second years for plants treated with a composition comprising a plurality of different microbes as disclosed herein as compared to untreated plants. Example 28: Improved bell pepper yield from plants treated with a composition comprising a plurality of different microbes as disclosed herein [00343] This example demonstrates improved bell pepper yield from plants treated with a composition comprising a plurality of different microbes (generated as described in Example 1) compared to untreated plants. [00344] Briefly 2006” pots containing steam sterilized field soil were planted with a single bell pepper seed. Half of the pots were treated with 16 oz/acre of the composition comprising a plurality of different microbes while the other half were untreated. Plants were grown under controlled greenhouse conditions subject to routine irrigation, fertilization, and pesticide application. Total fresh weight of fruit was measured for the 100 treated and untreated pots at day 55, day 80, and day 110. At day 55, treated plants produced 22.6 kg of bell peppers as compared to 17.3 kg for the untreated plants, a 1.3-fold increase. At day 80, treated plants produced 26.1 kg of bell peppers as compared to 16.9 kg for the untreated plants, a 1.5-fold increase. At day 110, treated plants produced 25.0 kg of bell peppers as compared to 17.2 kg for the untreated plants, a 1.5-fold increase. In total, over the 110 days, treated plants produced 73.7 kg of bell peppers while untreated plants produced 51.4 kg of bell peppers, equating to ~44% more fruit by weight. [00345] This example demonstrates a substantial increase in bell pepper yield in the first and second years for plants treated with a composition comprising a plurality of different microbes as disclosed herein as compared to untreated plants. Example 29: Increased growth of trees treated with a composition comprising a plurality of different microbes as disclosed herein [00346] This example demonstrates increased tree growth, for example tree ring growth and diameter at breast height (dbh), in trees following treatment with a composition comprising a plurality of different microbes (generated as described in Example 1) compared to untreated trees. [00347] Briefly, Aleppo pine (Pinus halepensis) trees were treated with the composition comprising a plurality of different microbes ~3 times per year, with each subsequent treatment applied approximately every 30 days. ~0.5 g of the composition comprising a plurality of Docket No. OATH-015.PCT different microbes was mixed into 1 gallon of water and poured evenly around the base of the tree. Treated trees were treated in 2022. [00348] Tree ring growth was determined as follows. Core samples were taken using a coring tool. One core per treated tree and two cores from a single untreated tree were collected. Cores were approximately 12-16 inches in length. The core samples were glued to wooden mounts with the cross-sectional surface facing upwards. Samples were polished to better view the earlywood and latewood ring boundaries using a random orbital sander with progressively finer sandpaper (400, 600, 800, and 1200 grit). An air compressor equipped with a high-pressure nozzle was then used to remove remnant dust particles. The samples were then hand buffer and any remaining dust and debris was removed with the air compressor. The samples were imaged under the microscope and sequential calendar years were assigned to the rings of each sample, starting with the outermost complete ring and moving inward to Ca.5 years (Stokes and Smiley, 1996). All samples were then scanned individually into the computer at 2400 dpi using an Epson V600 scanner and the scanning program SilverFast 9. Using the dendrochronology software CooRecorder 9.6 (Maxwell and Larsson, 2021), the ring-width for each sample was measured to the nears 0.001 mm starting with the known outermost year. Samples were assigned annual dates based on careful attention to tracheid anatomical detail. Special care was taken to account for all possible rings that could be misinterpreted, and these were recorded in detail. [00349] All treated trees experienced growth following treatment with the composition comprising a plurality of different microbes (Table 25). There were variations in the amount of growth between trees, but all treated trees showed substantial increases in secondary growth (radial growth) in 2023 than in 2022 (2023 mean growth: 1.644 mm, 2022 mean growth: 0.381 mm, one tail P-value using a Two-sample t-Test assuming unequal variances: 0.007). Treated trees on average showed a 4.3-fold increase in mean growth from 2023 to 2022. The untreated tree did not show an increase in growth rate in the same time period. The mean growth in 2023 was less than in 2022 (2023 mean growth: 0.828 mm, 2022 mean growth: 1.088 mm). These results demonstrate a substantial difference in ring mean growth between treated and untreated trees. Table 25: Tree-ring measurements Annual tree-ring measurements [mm] 2020 2 21 2 22 2 2

This is a pioneering example of soil amendment that improves annual tree growth. Thus, the compositions comprising a plurality of different microbes as disclosed herein show utility in a number of applications, for example those of reforestation where increased annual growth rates would greatly aid in reforestation efforts. Example 30: Improved oil content, soil beneficial microbes, and plant biomass hemp treated with a composition comprising a plurality of different microbes as disclosed herein [00352] This example demonstrates improved growth and plant properties of hemp treated with a composition comprising a plurality of different microbes (generated as described in Example 1) as compared to untreated plants. Specifically, this example demonstrates reduction of THC content due to cultivar genetic expression enhancement and increased in CBD oil content in treated plants as compared to untreated plants. [00353] Briefly, 1,0002-month old potted CHERRY CROSS clones (bred for low THC and high CBD) were planted on a 10 acre tract of sandy loam soil. All plants were drip irrigated and Docket No. OATH-015.PCT treated with standard fertilization with 140 lbs/acre Nitrogen, 70 lbs/acre Potassium, and 45 lbs/acre Phosphorous. Fertilizer determinations were made via NCDA soil analysis. Half of the plants (500) were treated with the composition comprising a plurality of different microbes. The season was very challenging regarding insects (aphids and spider mites), which were treated with pyrethrin, neem oil, and chromobacterium sprays on a regular basis. After 3 months, the plants were harvested, flowering heads stripped, and dried at ambient temperature with vigorous air flow. Samples of these plants were sent to Botanacor Services for oil extraction, which is Certified by the State of Colorado for official Cannabis analysis. Leaf nutrient content analysis, plant biomass, and total oil production was analyzed. [00354] Total cannabinoid content in treated plants substantially higher than in untreated plants, 15.1% as compared to 8.8% respectively, a 1.71-fold increase. Oil content analysis is shown in Table 27. Specifically, THC was undetectable in treated plants as compared to untreated plants. CBDa and CBD increased by 1.82-fold and 1.46-fold respectively for treated plants as compared to untreated plants. Interestingly, more than 50% of the untreated plants tested above legal limits for THC, classifying them as marijuana, while less than 4% of the treated plants had a total THC content over 0.03% with the remaining 96% of treated plants below the legal limits.

[00355] Seven days post-treatment, beneficial microbes were quantified as described above. Beneficial microbes were present at an average of 33,100 beneficial microbes per gram of untreated soil as compared to an average of 52,500,000,000 beneficial microbes per gram of treated soil. [00356] After drying, plant biomass was recorded for 100 treated and 100 untreated plants. There was a substantial 1.47-fold increase in plant biomass for treated plants as compared to untreated plants (mean treated: 2851 g, mean untreated: 1934 g, one tail P-value using a Two- sample t-Test assuming unequal variances: 5E-51). The data is also visually represented as a box and whiskers chart in Figure 5. [00357] Petiole samples were taken from hemp plants and processed by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture. The results are shown in Table 28. There was a 1.38-fold, 1.58-fold, 1.64-fold, 2.1-fold, 2.3-fold, and 1.7-fold increase in total leaf Nitrogen, Potassium, Phosphorus, Magnesium, Calcium, and Sulfur for treated plants compared to untreated plants respectively.

In general flowing heads (containing oil bearing trichomes) were larger and more robust, the oil content per gram of flower was consistently higher in treated plants, and CDB yield is double that of non-treated cannabis plants. Example 31: Increased hemp plant properties following treatment with a composition comprising a plurality of different microbes as disclosed herein [00359] This example demonstrates increase overall health and vitality of plants root, shoot, and flower tissues, increased number of leaf bearing trichomes, increased number and weight of flower tissues, and double-triple CDB, CDB-A, CBG, and CBG-A cannabinoid and aromatic terpene content in hemp plants treated with a composition comprising a plurality of different microbes (generated as described in Example 1) as compared to untreated plants. [00360] Briefly, hemp cultivar T1 was grown with or without treatment with the composition comprising a plurality of different microbes. Plants were harvested and analyzed following, 1, 2, and 3 treatments and compared to untreated plants. The plants were grown using standard agronomic practices in a challenging environment with temperatures exceeding 40 ˚C with periods of both drought and high rainfall in addition to high insect and pathogen populations. [00361] Plant height for untreated plants averaged 34.3 cm, for 1x treated plants averaged 71.4 cm, for 2x treated plants averaged 99.8 cm, and for 3x treated plant averaged 137.7 cm.1x treated plants were 108% taller on average, 2x treated plants were 191% taller on average, and 3x treated plants on average were 301% taller than the untreated plants. [00362] Stem diameter at the root collar for untreated plants averaged 7.1 mm, for 1x treated plants averaged 13.6 mm, for 2x treated plants averaged 14.2 mm, and for 3x treated plants averaged 17.3 mm.1x treated plants had a 91% wider root collar diameter on average, 2x treated plants had a 100% wider root collar diameter on average, and 3x treated plants had a 144% wider root collar diameter on average than the untreated plants. [00363] Root weight for untreated plants averaged 492 g, for 1x treated plants averaged 689 g, for 2x treated plants averaged 1001 g, and for 3x treated plants averaged 1097 g.1x treated plants had 40% higher root weight on average, 2x treated plants had 103% higher root weight on average, and 3x treated plants had 123% higher root weight on average than untreated plants. Docket No. OATH-015.PCT [00364] Fine root weight for untreated plants averaged 188 g, for 1x treated plants averaged 301 g, for 2x treated plants averaged 529 g, and for 3x treated plants averaged 718 g.1x treated plants had 60% higher fine root weight on average, 2x treated plants had181% higher fine root weight on average, and 3x treated plants had 282% higher fine root weight than untreated plants. [00365] It will be appreciated that fine root weight is an indication of available surface area for production of one or more substances (e.g., root exudates) that hold carbon or are precursors to such substances. Thus, the surprisingly large increase in fine root weight indicates a greatly increased carbon deposition in and around the plants. [00366] Fresh shoot weight for untreated plants averaged 793 g, for 1x treated plants averaged 1201 g, for 2x treated plants averaged 1442 g, and for 3x treated plants averaged 1893 g.1x treated plants had 51% higher fresh shoot weight on average, 2x treated plants had 82% higher fresh shoot weight on average, and 3x treated plants had 139% higher fresh shoot weight on average than untreated plants.
