Reminds me of a trial shown in the Soil Food Web School's course. They applied compost extract (with all the functional groups of microbes including fungi) to young Christmas trees. After the first year the control and experiment trees looked the same, but they found the root system on the treated trees was twice as large as the control. The next year the treated trees grew twice as much as the control trees. After that the farmer wouldn't let them take pictures anymore because he didn't want his competition to see the results.

Trees (and all plants) pump energy into the soil, and the soil food web feeds on it to make nutrients available to plants.
