As per direction via MicrobeMan, I have created my own thread on the matter.
I am interested in people's thoughts cover crops ability to change the microbial activity of a soil. I am not talking about using ACT or SST or any other type of compost tea, I am talking specifically about an ecological community being able to shift a separate ecological community in a certain direction.
This is possible:

Above source cites legume addition to cover crop mix will reduce the F:B ratio in the soil.
In addition certain brassicaes can suppress certain forms of pathogenic microbes as well.
I am wondering what are people's perspectives on this.
