Love #soil biology? You might like our new biology of soils poster @teagasc.bsky.social showing some of the amazing life in our soils. With huge thanks to the fantastic photographers @frankashwood.bsky.social @israelikoyi.bsky.social and others #Groundtruth #SoilHealth teagasc.ie/wp-content/u...

Last call for abstracts for the Agriculture and Land use conference! nationalagconf.clr.events/event/139579...

🌱 How does soil health affect the food on our plates? In the 25th episode of the CORDISCovery podcast, experts explore the link between healthy soils and food security, from plant roots and soil microbes to wastewater reuse and satellite monitoring. 🎧 https://acortar.link/BsxEnh

Europe takes a decisive step to protect one of our most precious resources. Today, the first-ever Soil Monitoring Law enters into force. It improves soil health, strengthens food security and enhances resilience to natural disasters. More: link.europa.eu/MfJ3GP

PhD Opportunity Alert! Exciting PhD vacancy as part of the #SOILRES project at University College Cork

What can your underwear tell you about the health of the soil? A lot! 2 garden areas ca. 3m apart - one compacted by machinery damage one not. Spot the difference #GroundTruth @vistamilk.bsky.social @researchireland.ie

The #groundtruth team are at the crops open day in Teagasc - come down to the #Soil village and talk to us about #SoilHealth #SoilBiology #SoilCompaction #CoverCrops @vistamilk.bsky.social @teagasc.bsky.social

Wondering whether to use amplicon or shotgun sequencing for characterising the soil microbial community - check out our new paper journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/... #SoilMicrobiome main findings : 1) consistent detection of major phyla; 2) similar microbial community differentiation patterns;

Europe’s soils are under pressure — and SOILRES is here to turn the tide. The EU funded project #SOILRES is working to restore soil health and strengthen crop resilience across the continent. How? 🌿 Biodiversity 🚜 Sustainable practices 💻 Smart digital tools 🔔 Stay tuned and follow our journey!
