My new paper is out! 🧪🦠 Seven years later: native AMF inoculation improves grassland restoration successional stage, floristic quality index, and diversity, while suppressing weeds: academic.oup.com/femsle/artic... Why microbes matter in restoration 🧵

How do you know if a person is #smart? You ask questions. How do you know if a #soil is #healthy? You take measurements. But are we taking the right #measurements? I think we can do better. Here you can read my proposal, an 'IQ test for soils'. shorturl.at/knvG4 What’s yours?

New publication: SpeSpeNet: an interactive and user-friendly tool to create and explore microbial correlation networks, by @jwubs.bsky.social and others. #microbiomedata #correlationnetworks doi.org/10.1093/isme...

New publication: Benchmarking for #soil health improvement, by @jwubs.bsky.social and others. #soilhealth #qualitycontrol #soilassessment doi.org/10.1016/j.on...

1744 signatures, good progress. Can we surpass 2000 by tomorrow? I realized only 26 EU MSs are covered: Luxemburg is still missing.

Two more days to go: We will soon publish the Open Letter so please sign and repost. 1587 people already signed, some countries remain behind: 1: Latvia Lithuania Cyprus Malta 3: Bulgaria 5: Estonia Ireland Slovenia 7: Slovakia 8: Croatia Poland 10: Romania docs.google.com/document/d/1...

I wish i could sign again ;). But indeed as @guypeer.bsky.social says, talk to your colleagues and ask them to join too. Its #cool and it helps #save the #planet (well, specifically, us on the planet)

De #EU #GreenDeal wordt uitgekleed tot #betekenisloosheid en dit moet #stoppen. De #wetenschap is eenduidig en verenigd: de Green Deal moet met ambitie geïmplementeerd worden voor een duurzame #toekomst. Zie deze open brief: shorturl.at/MiGfg Onderteken hier: shorturl.at/XxZe0 Alvast bedankt!

The #EU #GreenDeal is being degraded to meaninglessness & this needs to #stop. Together we can make it happen. With colleagues I wrote an open letter saying that science is supporting the Green Deal and it needs to be reinstated with ambition. docs.google.com/document/d/1JB… Scients pls sign. RT

Scientist we need you! Sign the letter please 👇 🙏🌍🦒🫶🌈💚

Climate Change: It's real. It's us. It's serious - and already dangerous. But there are solutions. The science is clear: the faster we cut emissions, the less suffering we will cause, and the better off we'll all be.

Dear #social #scientists,who has done an #analysis of how to #protest most #effectively?

Show of hands, who knew that about 60% of #biodiversity actually occurs in #soils!?! @thegsbi.bsky.social

📣GSBI Speaks is back this December. Join us in the second of the series to learn about the role of biological soil crusts (biocrusts) in soil 🎉 Dec. 12, 2024, 7:00 MST, 9:00 EST, 14:00 GMT, 15:00 CET Register 👇 zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Dear #social #scientists,who has done an #analysis of how to #protest most #effectively?

We are looking for a research assistant to join the EDGE lab (edge-ecology.com) here in Gothenburg 🇸🇪 for the next 2 years. A great team and lots of exciting research to be a part of! 🌱🌍🌡️❄️ Please apply or share 🙏 #ecology #job

People are gonna look back in a few decades and wish for the climate we have today. 🥹

And here is a soil science starter pack: go.bsky.app/HADDT8P

Are you #tired of reading all the #climate and #ecological crises? Time to hop over to themacroscope.eu for the 10+ things #you can do! Tell me what you think!

Earthworms (Crassiclitellata) are segmented #worms (Annelida). This understudied class of #invertebrates also includes #leeches, bristle worms (e.g. lugworms and ragworms) and pot worms (including ice worms). Annelids are represented across marine, freshwater and terrestrial environments. #science

Interested in coming to Berlin to work on climate-change related issues? Consider this fellowship from the @humboldt-foundation.de International Climate Protection Fellowship www.humboldt-foundation.de/en/apply/spo...

Lots of new people joining Bluesky in the clean energy and climate worlds over the last few days. I know there are starter packs, but also why don't people introduce themselves? Reply here to say hi!
