How do we bring diverse data together to estimate environmental risks? New paper from our Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council big sister project Ensemble Team

Check out Chris Taylor' s great carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus modelling work at the fascinating long term experimental grasslands at Wardlow Gareth Phoenix

Soil made up an incredible 55% of material sent to landfill in the UK in 2016! Great news piece on why we need to stop treating urban soil like dirt from Roisin O'Riordan on her Soil Infrastructures research with John Quinton Chris Boyko Jess Davies Lancaster Environment Centre theconversation.com/treated-like-d…

Looking forward to Fab #Phosphorus Friday in biogeoscience session BG6 at #vEGU21. I'll be talking about #phosphatase enzymes and modelling P cycles in plant-soil systems. Our display materials can be viewed now here meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU21/EGU21-30… @EGU_BG EGU Soil Sciences


Join fab Soil Infrastructures Ensemble Team researcher Tori Janes Bassett to hear about #Soils & #DataScience (& chocolate!) today 🍫 Tori Bassett Jess Davies DSI Lancaster Lancaster Environment Centre

*NEW SCIENCE ALERT* Our new paper is out now in Biogeosciences: ‘Organic phosphorus cycling may control grassland responses to nitrogen deposition: a long-term field manipulation and modelling study’ bg.copernicus.org/articles/18/40… Thread 1/n

Fun to think about the future of our urban soils and spaces and how we could use them to tackle climate change. Thanks to UK Research and Innovation #NetZero

Change in #carbon storage in the East of England and the importance of a regional perspective for policy. Check out our new paper out today - Mapping regional impacts of agricultural expansion on terrestrial carbon storage.

Fantastic summary of some of Tori Bassett soil research discoveries through her time with us at Soil Infrastructures and Ensemble Team projects - long may the thread of discovery and entanglement of disciplines continue! #EntangledFestival

Check out our new Soils in Planning & Construction Task Force - public-private partnership focused on integrating soils into planning & construction lancaster.ac.uk/soilstaskforce Roisin O'Riordan John Quinton @cornwallcouncil Lancaster City Council Farrer Huxley JTP with Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council support

Our paper is out in SOIL Journal! We looked at what happens to #soil #carbon & nitrogen when soils are sealed by roads and pavements #UrbanSoil #cities


#Soils provide multiple services to society: supporting food production, regulating global water and nutrient cycles, & sequestering CO2. Find out more at SHui's hybrid event feat. John Quinton, Ryan Edge, Dr. Vasileios (Billy) Giannakopoulos, Katharina Huntenburg with Myerscough College & University Centre & Delta-T Devices

🧵1/5 Excited about #phosphatase enzymes and their role in organic P cycling? Check out our new paper: A meta-analysis of phosphatase activity in agricultural settings in response to phosphorus deficiency in Soil Biology & Biochemistry Journal doi.org/10.1016/j.soil… #Phosphorus #OpenAccess


Great to see this POST (UK Parliament) briefing on restoring #agriculture #soil and particularly delighted to see our #SoilLifespan paper appearing here. Cranfield University Lancaster Environment Centre post.parliament.uk/research-brief…

Happy #WomenScienceDay from Sustainable Soils Group Lancaster Environment Centre We're packed with amazing women studying everything from urban undergrounds to alpine tops, farms to freshwaters, plant traits to plastics in lab field & models wp.lancs.ac.uk/sustainable-so… Women in Science Day


Are you an Early Career Researcher #ECR working on #soil erosion? We invite you to present your #research at the EU_ScienceHub #EUSO Soil Erosion Workshop, 20-22 June 2022. Abstracts to Dan Evans ([email protected]) by 29 May More info: esdac.jrc.ec.europa.eu/public_path/EU…

Congratulations to Roisin O'Riordan on passing her viva! 🎉🎉🎉 It's been fantastic learning about urban soil ecosystem services & the world beneath the pavements with you as part of Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council Soil Infrastructures project #NewDrOfUrbanSealedSoilsOnTheBlock John Quinton Chris Boyko Lancaster Environment Centre
