Very interesting study highlighting the difficulty in interpreting soil respiration data: many factors affect it. "The results from this study highlight the complexity of using potential soil respiration as a standalone test for evaluating soil health."

🎯 17 goals 🗓 8 years to achieve them ✨ 1 future! Soil health is at the heart of many #SDGs! 🤎🇺🇳 Learn how healthy soils can achieve these goals by 2030 #SoilHealth Watch: youtu.be/7cJdyL78Js Via FAO Land, Soil and Water

Excited to be able to share our new paper! Our study explored the effects of a #herbal and #grassclover ley on soil physical, chemical and biological quality after two-years in a sheep grazed grassland. ☘️🐑🌱 Open access below 👇 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
