New manuscript just published in Geoderma - the global #OA journal of soil science, led by Andrea Jilling: 'Wet-dry cycling influences the formation of mineral-associated organic matter and its sensitivity to simulated root exudates.'
With Stuart Grandy + Karen Morán-Rivera

'Permanganate-oxidizable C' or 'POXC' is widely used as a measure of 'labile' or 'active' C. However, incorrect or simply unknowable redox assumptions prevents calculation of C oxidized by permanganate:

We are still looking to hire a post-doc for this posting. Field-based soil biogeochemists looking for a postdoc (esp. with experience w soil C in working lands), please apply ASAP! Come work with an amazing team Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, with amazing salary ($108K/yr) and benefits.
Out now and OA in Nature Microbiology
A trait-based approach harnesses the vast amount of microbial genomic data and enables integration with biogeochemical models, predicting soil microbial ecology and physiology (without the need for cultures? 🦠🤔)

Out today in Nature Geoscience – 'Dominance of particulate organic carbon in top mineral soils in cold regions.'
A big effort led by Pablo García-Palacios, and with a team of great collaborators.
New Soil Biogeochem Postdoc posting w/m Dr. Jennifer Pett-Ridge Noah Sokol et al on soil-CDR for C mitigation. You’ll use 14C analysis and LC-MS/GC-MS to assess C fate and durability to help meet the grand challenges posed by climate change! Share widely! Apply here:

Our manuscript is out in Global Change Biology: 'A stoichiometric approach to estimate sources of mineral-associated soil organic matter.'
Using stiochiometry, we estimate microbes account for 34-47% of the total MAOM pool.
Led by Fan Ding and Yi Chang.

Great hosting Steffen Schweitzer (Steffen Schweizer) from @TUMsoil this week at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, through a Bavaria- California Science and Technology exchange grant, to discuss microscale interactions of minerals, microbes, and organic matter.
Excited to be part of this major effort – 'Terraforming Soil' – a new DOE Energy Earthshot Research Center based at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory focused on biological and geological solutions for soil-based carbon removal. And with a team of amazing collaborators!
