Soil life must be protected! A new nature paper shows we are not doing it properly and tells us areas requiring particular attention. Time to act🦠🍄🐜🪱🤎 nature.com/articles/s4158…

Soil micro-organisms can contribute to avoid, reduce and reverse land degradation 🪱🍄 📖Learn more about the regenerative powers of #SoilBiodiversity in ”The State of Knowledge of Soil Biodiversity" ⬇️ 🍃 Main report: doi.org/10.4060/cb1928… 🍂 Summary: doi.org/10.4060/cb1929…

A #Baobab seedling (#Adansonia digitata, #Malvaceae) planted by The East African Herbarium (EA) staff for ex situ conservation National Museums of Kenya. The seeds are coated with food colour & traded as MABUYU. The seedling doesn't look anything closer to the mature #Plant though🙃 #biodiversity #Kenya

Fueling their passion for nature and science 🌿🧪. Excited students from the Department of Plant and Environmental Biology in the University of Ghana visited the Ghana Herbarium last Friday and learned about the diverse plant species in Ghana. #HerbariumVisit #Taxonomy #plants

We are a happy generation celebrating wild flora, Happy World wildlife day

Just some pretty mycorrhizae 💙

Stumbled upon this sight in the field during the week ! 😍🐛 These beautiful caterpillars were all clustered together on a tree. what do you think they were doing? Any explanations? ….I’m curious

Proudly sharing with you this epic taxonomic revision of #Ipomoea for #Ghana, with so much cool information about the species and their traditional uses. It is a result of the 2022 #Plant #Taxonomy Skills course done by @KewAfrica and GC Herbarium-well done to African Taxonomists Network!

A moment of gratitude. 💚 Filmmaker Louie Schwartzberg (Fantastic Fungi, Gratitude Revealed, Moving Art series) expresses his own wonder and awe at the Sphere where his work is being featured as one of their XO/ART contributors. 🌱#EarthDayEveryDay #Gratitude

The Ecuadorian cloud forest is a biodiverse paradise ☁️ It's not just beautiful – it's a superhero ecosystem 🦋 Shielding us from floods, securing water, aiding pollination, and pest control. RT to show your love for this magical place 😍 Via WWF

Happy International #biodiversityday Most people (and evidently, AI) think that biodiversity is above ground, where we can see it. Think again....most biodiversity is in the soil, and overwhelmingly microbial. #biodiversity

International day of biodiversity! Mycorrhizal fungi are key components of soil
