Spots left for PhD course in May (7-13) on 'Redesign agriculture to improve Resource Use Efficiency'. Focus will be on N and water across scales. Nice speakers and a lot of room for exchange of ideas and creativity! Info: pe-rc.nl/resource-use-e…

📣A few spots left for our #PhD course on Resource Use Efficiency in #agriculture PE&RC Wageningen U&R. Focus: nitrogen and water across scale - plant/soil/field/farm➡️pe-rc.nl/resource-use-e…, with Katrin Descheemaeker, Florian Wichern Gerlinde De Deyn Francisco Pinto, Franca J. Bongers etc.

📣Registration open for the first edition of our #PhD immersive course on #carbon #farming on a dairy farm in France 👩‍🌾🧑‍🌾🐄! We seek to see, to witness, experience, and truly understand: what is carbon farming?➡️wur.nl/en/activity/gr…

Soil N mineralization involves an upstream cascade of depolymerization rxn, largely amino-N (i.e., peptides, amino sugars).
1. Are enzyme activities that catalyze N depolymerization sensitive to pH? Yes.
2. Are currently assumed pH optima correct? No.

The place to be - Prof position in #SoilScience in #BritishColumbia 😍

👏Big congratulations to the PhD candidate Andreas Wild RhizoTraits_Bonares for leading this great work on #root and #rhizosphere traits -Implications for #soil resource acquisition and #drought adaptation🌽Plant Cell & Environment. Happy to be part of this adventure 😆!➡️doi.org/10.1111/pce.14…

📣Happy that our review on #soil structure formation in the #rhizosphere , led by Carsten W. Mueller, is out Soil Biology & Biochemistry Journal ! This has been a long journey, but we made it 😁!➡️sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Only 10 days left to apply for a #phd position in my group Universität Tübingen - 'Biophysics of phage dispersal and their biogeochemical fate in soil'. All enthusiastic soil / microbiol / biogeochem folks welcome!

Job alert! The Plant Ecology & Nature Ecology group at Wageningen U&R is offering an assistant professor position on vegetation ecology. Please apply if you are interested, or retweet / spread the word if you know others who are interested. wur.nl/en/vacancy/ass…

We officially opened our own 'experimental' functioning soil panel park on WUR campus, a full-factorial design with 2 treatments and 4 replicates, to investigate effects of light intensity and plant species composition on soil health. Info panels provide background information.

The academic publishing system is broken. Early career researchers are eager for change but particularly vulnerable to the risks associated with taking action. Out today, we (ECRs at FRB) outline 10 actions researchers at all levels can take to help doi.org/10.1111/ele.14…
