Here, we advocate for the use of soil microbiome interventions to help increase soil carbon stocks and curb greenhouse gas emissions from managed soils. Direct interventions include the introduction of microbial strains, consortia, phage, and soil transplants, whereas indirect interventions include managing soil conditions or additives to modulate community composition or its activities.

Methods: Between 2000 and 2023, study investigators identified 137 consecutive patients undergoing myectomy with or without membranectomy for mild to moderate calcific AS. Of these patients, 93 underwent surgical intervention on the AV and formed the primary cohort; 44 patients who did not undergo AV intervention were used as a control group.
