☎️UK undergrads! . Join the Biodiversity Futures lab @NHM_London for a ✨ paid ✨ 8-week placement funded by @GW4plusDTP. Study how 🌳 influence soil decomposition processes and develop your fieldwork, lab, and stats skills. Deadline 14th May. Info:

Be careful what jokes you make around your kids, or you will end up on a conference slide!. Thanks to @NHM_Students for the chance to showcase my DIY dad's contribution to science AND chat about how alley-cropping could help to tackle soil degradation on UK farms🌳🌾. #NHMSC2024

Views from the office 🏞️. We had a fantastic week learning about alpine ecology and geological processes with the second-year @YorkEnvironment ES & EG students!. #UoYAustria2024

Another ✨paid✨ summer research placement @NHM_London studying soil decomposition dynamics on UK farmland 🌳🌾, supervised by myself and @alexa_varah. Pls share w/ UK-based undergrads wanting lab & stats experience. Apply by 17 May. Details @SSCP_DTP:

960 litter bags weighed, sealed, and ready for the field! 🌿 . Undergraduate or master's students in London, Cambridge, Nottingham, or Suffolk looking to gain some valuable fieldwork experience, I could use some help burying these. Contact beth.evans@nhm.ac.uk for more info 🌳

Plus one of my favourite photos from Scotland. Thank you to the Chadacre Agricultural Trust for supporting this experiment.

Just migrated south from @JamesHuttonInst, where I was lucky enough to set up a soil nitrogen tracer experiment with Maddy Giles and Sandra Caul. Can't wait to find out what secrets are hidden in my four tiny well plates - do agroforestry 🌳 influence soil nitrogen cycling?

A cool find from one of my tullgren funnel extracts - a #Diptera not quite fully emerged from its pupal shell 🪰. The choice to record specimens like this as either adults or larvae can influence metrics of biological #SoilHealth, so it prompts an interesting discussion!

@BugBoyDawid any ideas on the millipede? 🤞.

My favourite thing about hand sorting #soil samples is watching the behaviour of these incredible little #fauna. If anyone can provide an #ID from these photos, I'd love to know what #worm 🪱 and #millipede I had the pleasure of meeting.

The sun came out to greet us for our first week of #fieldwork in 2023 🌞. Thanks @AidanByrneSci for being a fab field assistant and getting excited about #soil with me. @CDahlsjo I had a blast learning about your decomposition experiment in Wytham 🌳. Thanks for having me!

If you're at #GSB23 and interested in how alley-cropping influences soil biological quality on arable farmland, stop by poster 76 this afternoon for a chat 🌳🌾🐛. Or if you're app savvy, connect with me on the conference app for more info.

Great to see @SoilScholar present the results of their meta-analysis on #SoilBiodiversity in #horticultural systems at #GSB2023. Some surprising and thought-provoking finds!

What a fantastic couple of days learning how to install soil respiration collars with @RewildingJed. Can't wait to get back out to @RealFarmED to see how the measurements are taken. Anyone interested in learning about Regenerative Farming, I would highly recommend a visit 🌾🍄
