1st field work of Soil S.P.A.C.E. lab on #Pornomics project to #chernozems in the #Streletskaya_steppe of Central Chernozem Reserve (facebook.com/zapovedkursk). We're lucky with the weather. It was very hot days! All bullets (soil monoliths) are in the clip. Let's keep working! ☀️⛏️🌱

Soils as part of local history. At our leisure we have visited Kursk, found soil profiles in Museum of Local History and took a photo with #antonovka apple. #Chernozem and #antonovka - symbols of this region. If you are #soilscientist and will have a trip to Russia, visit it! ✈️

Full access of the latest paper in Global Change Biology from our group is already available, by Anna Yudina and Yakov Kuzyakov . . . priming Soil Science - "Saving the face of soil aggregates" onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Fields non-stop! ☀️#Retisols from #MoscowRegion near the #DokuchaevSoilScienceInstitute Station. Had a very fast and good work with our colleagues from microbiology lab. Keep working!💪

Good example that soil #aggregatestability depends on chemical composition: high C+medium Fe+medium clay in topsoil (0-15 cm) vs low C+low Fe+low clay in eluvial horizon (15-30 cm) vs low C+high Fe+high clay in undersoil (50-80 cm). Pic. from our paper rdcu.be/bP66x

Fresh scans from recent expedition. One more example of #soilaggregates existence. Classical case (this pic) - the granular structure of native #Chernozem from #Kurskregion. Raw µCT data (without smoothing) shows geometrical elements in soil core sample (undisturbed!!).😉

The reasons for our absence.

Happy to organize 1st #Dokuchaevphotoawards in our Institute. Toooo many work, but so interesting! instagram.com/dokuchaev.phot… is.gd/kGq8E7

See the paper from our group published in early view in European Journal of Soil Science : onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111… The special issue promises to be hot :)

Go with us :) new in Geoderma - the global #OA journal of soil science Going submicron in the precise analysis of soil structure: A FIB-SEM i... sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Oh, so familiar 😂

One more paper from our close colleagues in European Journal of Soil Science special issue: How pore structure non‐stationarity compromises flow properties representativity (REV) for soil samples: pore‐scale modeling and stationarity analysis onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ej… #soilstructure #soilporespace

Congratulations to our dear colleagues.🎉We are waiting for new works inspired by the study of soil nanoscale using a FIB-SEM. #SEM #soilpores #soilstructure

Just published. Let's sieve the soil properly with energy-based approach.:) sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
