🎴 Depopulation as a driver of #desertification with the loss of these people, we also lose knowledge of how to sustain vibrant agricultural landscapes. Read these policy recommendations by @desertificationeu.bsky.social#desertification👇

We collected cores, installed shallow groundwater monitoring wells, and installed IRIS films at one wetland site today. The site is mapped as the Osage series (fine, smectitic, thermic Typic Epiaquerts) on land enrolled in the Wetland Reserve Program. #wetlands #hydric #soil #redox

How to characterise the SOC fractions (the particulate and mineral-associated organic carbon ) compositionally and identify important organic and inorganic functional groups that differed by fraction simultaneously? Here is our solution. 🧪🌏#Soil www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Upcoming Iowa Learning Farms webinar will feature @kbslter.bsky.social scientist, @sprunger.bsky.social and her lab's work on beneficial nematodes and what they can tell us about #soilhealth. For more details and to register, check out the story here! www.morningagclips.com/iowa-learnin...

Environmental change is social change, so social sciences, humanities and the arts (SSHA) should be equal in #soil research. How to achieve that? What are SSHA anyway? See my report written on behalf of the Advisory Board of Horizon Mission Soil mission-soil-platform.ec.europa.eu/resource-lib...

Kellogg Biological Station is searching for a new Director! KBS is unique in its ability to integrate lab and field research, as well as integrating fundamental research in ecology and evolution with applications to environmental problems. Questions to me or the search chairs. Please apply!

Excited to share our latest article published in Soil Use and Management! It explores nitrogen budgets and soil and crop fertility parameters in sandy soils under an arid climate🌾 Big thanks you to all colleagues! #SoilScience

But what % are the hedgerows? #soil

Our #SoilErosion session looks very promising! 🤯 My friends & colleagues @matfran.bsky.social @pborrelli.bsky.social @panospanagos.bsky.social have a huge capacity to reach out. If you want be part of this community let us know, join us at the #EGU25 or send out your work until tomorrow (12hCET).

The results of this pilot will inform the future scaling of Soil information systems across the African continent. It's a significant step towards sustainable agriculture and improved #soilhealth in the region. Secure your spot: lnkd.in/dcctcBVS #Youth4Soil #SoilHealth

A wonderful time of soils in NZ with soil judging, conference and field trip. I represented my colleagues and UNE. Met old friends and made new ones. Soil is about people.

Today (December 5) is World SOIL Day. A day dedicated to spreading awareness of #SOIL and celebrating the amazing world under our feet. Learn more by visiting www.fao.org/world-soil-d...

🌱Healthy soils support our #health, our food security, and the economy. #WorldSoilDay Over 60% of soils in the EU alone are degrading - meaning we lose resilience and #competitiveness. We need a dedicated, ambitious EU legislative framework on soil ecostandard.org/publications...

Celebrating World Soil Day at NZSSS Conf with many others who live and love soil.

As we draw attention to the ground beneath our feet on #WorldSoilDay, Dr David O’Conner explained how #soil is far more than just dirt – it serves as a foundation for life itself. Join our Swindon Science Cafes on the first Tuesday of every month: icast.org.uk/highlighting... #SDGs #climatechange

Can't believe this is a picture from a year ago. I am really enjoying my time as a post doctorate researcher at @uniofaberdeen.bsky.social. I feel I'm learning all the time and working with so many like minded and knowledgeable people. More to come!

Excited to share our new study in @naturecomms.bsky.social showing that soil fungi, unlike bacteria, remain fully active under severe drought conditions, and also invest in synthesis of storage compounds. Led by the amazing @loutsi.bsky.social and Alberto Canarini. Thread 1/2 rdcu.be/d1Tyg

Science takes time - a lot of time. Time that is more and more difficult to make available because of increased workloads. Time that exceeds the temporary contracts of postdocs and PhDs. I'll illustrate this using our paper published in Nature yesterday. 🧵 (1/x) www.nature.com/articles/s41...
