Happy #worldsoilday Have you ever heard the sounds of a munching earthworm? Listen in below!

🧵71% of UK land is farmland — so nature recovery must start in our fields. @jedsol.bsky.social is researching how regenerative farming supports soil life + how measuring energy could help us measure change for nature recovery in underground ecosystems. #worldsoilday

What if camera-trap photos could tell us not just who walked by, but how big, how close, and how many animals there are? 👉 doi.org/10.1016/j.ec... Research led by Muhammad Aamir and coauthored by WildCRU’s Matthew Wijers and Andrew Loveridge. [1/3] @biology.ox.ac.uk @compscioxford.bsky.social

We're celebrating #worldsoilday by sharing a fascinating talk @edithhammer.bsky.social gave us last year. Soil chips = windows into the underground 🌍Predators, microbes, nutrient cycling — all in one tiny world. Let’s celebrate soil life! 🌱 @ecioxford.bsky.social

Prof Nathalie Seddon, Director of @naturebasedsols.bsky.social, spoke at the UK’s first @nebriefing.bsky.social on the climate and nature crises. Addressing over a thousand leaders, she pushed for nature to be treated as core to policy - essential for resilience and a safe, thriving society ⬇️

In an upcoming study from our research group, Bhavya Palugudi, Ecosystems MSc student, and @ymalhi.bsky.social show that higher species richness does not necessarily translate to higher ecosystem energetic flows for tropical forests. Read more here www.oxfordecosystems.org/post/the-bio...
