This week we are combining what we saw in the field, heard in lectures, and measured in the labs to help us understand these ecosystems. Stay tuned!

This weekend we wrapped up #SSI2019 at CSU’s amazing Mountain Campus. What a great group of soil enthusiasts! #soil #ecology #ColoradoState

Let us introduce one of our SSI faculty members, Pankaj Trivedi PANKAJ TRIVEDI His research focuses on #microbial #ecology, #omics technologies, and plant-microbe-insect interactions. Check out his research lab! trivedi-laboratory.org CSU Warner College CSU College of Agricultural Sciences #SSI2020 #soil

Thinking about different types of soil carbons like checking and savings accounts can help us better understand soil as a precious resource for carbon storage. The Conversation U.S. theconversation.com/soil-carbon-is…

Meet another faculty member- Francesca Cotrufo! Her research focuses on mechanisms and drivers of formation & persistence of #soil #organicmatter and its response to #globalchange.
