In two-weeks, I'll be at Murdoch University in Perth, Western Australia, discussing the impact of #herbal leys on UK soil quality, livestock productivity and GHGs. ☘️🐑🌱 Join virtually in the link below, talk starts at 8:30am GMT 👇 Bangor University Lydia Smith The University of Sheffield

Soil sampling at the Morrow Plots in 1904 vs 2023. Or: How it started / How its going

🌱 The Status of the World's Soil Resources report has identified 10 threats to our #Soil 👉🏿👉🏿👉🏿 tiny.cc/emf6vz It's time to step up together to #SaveSoil & prioritize #SoilHealth for healthy crops, clean #Water, and thriving biodiversity‼️

Grasslands have large soil carbon (C) sequestration potential due to permanent vegetation cover and prolific below-ground biomass inputs, making their implementation a negative emission technology (IPCC, 2018). Burleigh Dodds nlaf.uk/Library/pl/ZWV…

There’s no civilisation without agriculture. Why would we risk our food bowls for short-term profit from coal seam gas? Farmers are sounding the alarm on the way fossil fuel expansion is damaging our water, food, fibre and climate. theguardian.com/australia-news…

New in SSSAJ! Long-term changes in soil carbon and nitrogen fractions in switchgrass, native grasses, and no-till corn #bioenergy production systems – Perry & colleagues doi.org/10.1002/saj2.2… Scripps College MSU College of Engineering W.K. Kellogg Biological Station MSU-PSM Department

Conversion to no-till = no change; conversion to switchgrass = no change; only restoration of diverse native prairie resulted in increases in #soilcarbon. It's all about the roots. Would have been nice to measure deeper than 25 cm.

Soil health and the quality and availability of water are interconnected. We need both #soil and water to grow 95% of our food so let's do our part to protect them! #SoilAction #WaterAction

In 2009 I wrote #SoilNotOil penguinrandomhouse.com/books/535624/s… Today the scientific evidence is overwhelming.The industrial food systems is the biggest contributor to emissions Regeneration & Care for Living Soil is the most effective #ClimateAction navdanyainternational.org/soil-not-oil-t…

So very sorry to see #TheDrum ABC The Drum gone finish. The end of an era and one of the best. Very much looking forward to the day the ABC say “it’s back!”

So, if N fertilizer increases soil organic matter in the long-term, does it have a similar effect on microbial biomass? This review says YES, N fertilizer application "led to a 15.1% increase in the microbial biomass above unfertilized controls." sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
