Two thousand buried underpants mapped the hidden life in the soil

More than 2,000 pairs of cotton underpants were buried in Switzerland in a scientific initiative called the "Underpants Test," launched in 2021 by the University of Zurich and Agroscope, with the participation of approximately 1,000 citizen scientists. The method, despite being humorous, is an effective way to assess soil health: the faster the underpants decompose, the more microbial activity exists in the area, indicating a healthier soil. The project demonstrates that advanced technology is not needed to monitor underground biodiversity.
