I didn’t think they’re could be a better view in Scotland than from A' Mhaighdean, but Stob a' Choire Odhair may be a worthy rival… walkhighlands

Eco&Sols is now on X! Our research unit works on functional ecology and biogeochemistry in agroecosystems, from the biodiversity in soil aggregates, to plant-soil interactions and global C cycle. This account will share publications, project updates, job opportunities and more.

Are you reviewer 1, or reviewer 2? Reviewer 1: "this work is not attractive as no significant differences were found." Reviewer 2: "I would like to congratulate the authors who tried to publish non-significant results." 🧐

To the minority of people voting for reviewer 1: Can you explain why you think non-significant results are uninteresting and should not be published? Doesn't this take leads to a publication bias, leading to biaised reviews/meta-analyses?
