Great stuff!

Need more evidence for the importance of fractionating SOM? Check out our new article on responses of SOM & its fractions to 30 (!) yrs of increased precip TLDR: Despite no response of bulk C and N, we found changes in SOM fractions & their drivers... 🧵 authors.elsevier.com/a/1hbxr8g13XeZV

Nice article about why carbon offsets aren't working and how they can be improved. I am a little disappointed they left out soil-based solutions. nature.com/articles/d4158…

So great to see this out! Nice work

Climate deniers be like…

So excited to share this work on emerging controls of soil stoichiometry that I led with a really wonderful group of scientists! We review empirical evidence for soil C:N controls and their representation in models. Take a gander ⬇️ doi.org/10.1016/j.soil…

What’s holding back soil carbon increases under regenerative management? Does MAOC not respond b/c soils are saturated? Does POC response take off with C inputs? In short, no! Happy to share this paper from my postdoc w great group of co-authors: tinyurl.com/yn94mrxp A 🧵

Cool.

🚨 Our new paper is out!! 🚨 We developed a conceptual framework to align understanding on the impact of #grazing on soil organic #carbon using a combined lens of plant ecophysiology + soil biogeochemistry & a REAL description of grazing management 🐂 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/gc…

How should we *really* be fractionating soils to get truly distinct pools which inform + reflect our mechanistic understanding? Read Sam's awesome new paper, combining chemical, spectral, and isotopic evidence to answer this question! FWIW - density is necessary 🫢

‼️NEW PAPER: Is agroecology being co-opted? Short answer: YES (1/5)

Good stuff

We (me,@JM_Lavallee, Francesca Cotrufo, Bruno Basso , and Will Brinton) have a new paper out today in SOIL Journal. We looked how SOM fractions might influence crop yield stability. The results were surprising (little 🧵). soil.copernicus.org/articles/10/30…

Hey Twitter- I'm getting close to wrapping things up! I'll be defending my PhD work on June 20th, at 9 AM MT. I'll talk about SOM fractionation methods, MAOM nitrogen, yield stability, PyOM persistence, and everything in between. Hope y'all can tune in-- DM me for a Teams link!

Psyched this paper is now out in the world! Got together with an amazing expert group to review SOM conceptual frameworks. The inspiration for this work was to help PhD student Katie that had little background in SOM prep for prelims. Hope its helpful! dx.doi.org/10.1029/2023JG…

I'll be defending my PhD this Friday at 9a MT! Scan the QR for a Teams link. I'll be talking all about Regen Ag, SOM, and soil critters. Would love for you to tune in!

New paper alert. A consensus view (amongst a bunch of researchers in this space) on what we know and need to know to effectively manage croplands for climate benefits led by Emily Oldfield & @JM_Lavallee tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

So glad #MFCotrufoNeedsTwitter is an #AGU2024 fellow this year! She is an outstanding scientist and truly caring mentor. She is so deserving and I am so grateful to have been trained by her 👩🏻‍🔬

Excited to share our new Policy Analysis in the Journal of Science Policy & Governance (JSPG) Winter Issue! With Helen Silver, Megan Machmuller & Dr. Jane Zelikova, we explore how diversified ag systems impact soil carbon, soil health & yields. 🌱📈 Read it here 👉 sciencepolicyjournal.org/article_103812…
