We are organizing our first Summer School in August 24 in Fort Portal (Uganda) on #TropicalForest and #SoilResources Assessment! Extensive support funds available for scholars in need. Check it out at tropires.org & spread the word! Deadline to apply: 31st March 2024.

Our journal Functional Ecology is making a change… From Jan 2025 it will be fully #OpenAccess & researchers around the world will be able to read about the latest research on ecological patterns and processes. Find out what this means for authors & readers👇 britishecologicalsociety.org/functional-eco…

The 9th International Symposium on Soil Organic Matter was held at UM6P (26-31 May 2024). Participants explored scientific programs with insights on microbiome and health, focusing on soil organic matter resilience in African agriculture. #UM6P #SOM2024

#Soil health assessment under perennial wheat in Morocco. Field work led by Charlotte Védère under the framework of the #ChangeUp project (changeupproject.com). Great collaboration with Salama Elfatehi & Younes Hmimsa from FPLarache. Paris Soil organic matter research Group Chabbi Abad

Thank you UM6P - University Mohammed VI Polytechnic for being such a great host for #SOM2024 in #Benguerir #Morocco. Congratulations for hosting a great scientifically and culturally rich event. JoannWhalen Ngonidzashe Chirinda Chabbi Abad Cornelia Rumpel #SoilOrganicMatterSymposium2024 #Africa

PhD student Maria Javiera Guarda Reyes from BIOREN (Ufro) developped innovative environmentally friendly hydrogels and is investigating their effect on carbon transfer from plant to #soil under #drought conditions at iEES Paris, @MarcelaCalabi,Maria Luz Mora, Cornelia Rumpel, @PBiron

Congratulation Javiera and thanks Cornelia for your fantastic colaboration always Really Javiera you have a nice opportunity We are very proud

👏Bravo à Gabin Colombini pour son prix du meilleur oral des journées Frog!! 👏

Congratulations to Gabin Colombini who won the prize for the best oral presentation at the Conference of the French Researchers in Organic Geochemistry French Researchers in Organic Geochemistry

Congradulations to PhD student Zi Yacouba, who published his first paper on tropical #earthworm species and their effects on microbial communities involved in #N2O emissions from casts: rdcu.be/dR1CO collaboration with Alessandro Florio iEES Paris

Devin Rippner, PhD and I are looking to hire a postdoc to lead X-ray CT of soils under 149 year treatments from University of Illinois historic Morrow Plots. Machine learning image analysis to quantify and link soil pore networks with biogeochemical functions. Remote work possible. Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL)

Happenig now: @MaJavxkicks off the DEEP HORIZON project funded by H2020 with 7 WPs and the aim to provide tools and knowledge to better characterise, understand and manage European sub- #soils. #Sustainability

Discovering subsoil - field visit during the kick off meeting of the #soil mission project #DeepHorizon. Stimulating discussions on scientific aspects thanks to the excellent organization by project coordinator @MaJavx

Excellent Laboratory work by PhD students María Javiera 🌹 and Manuel Saldivar Diaz from BIOREN (Ufro) at iEES Paris to study plant responses to novel eco-friendly hydrogels and their effect on microorganisms involved in #soil OC sequestration . Marcela Calabi Paola Duran Maria Luz Mora

🌎Global estimates of salt #marsh organic matter decomposition dynamics can be improved by taking into account the differences in #decomposition rates among litter types 👉Read more: nature.com/articles/s4324…

First blue carbon paper from our team, led by PSG member Dr. Marie Arnaud... moove to @marnaud.bsky.social on decomposition of #root litter types in salt march #soils under contrasting innudation. Excellent collaboration with Ifremer 🌊 Melissa Bakhos @MFDignac Cornelia Rumpel sharelink: rdcu.be/dZWtC

📢Exciting paper "Salt marsh litter decomposition varies more by litter type than by extent of sea-level inundation". nature.com/articles/s4324… Root functional type is a key control of organic matter decay, inundation duration has only a slight effect - with a MEGA marsh organ!

Very happy to see our student Zi Yacouba defending his excellent PhD thesis on the role of #earthworm traits in the regulation of biogeochemical cycles in #soil. Congradulations! #proudsupervisor @MFDignac Paris Soil organic matter research Group @Nicolasbottinelli
