Thrilled to announce Roads to Removal, a bottom up analysis of USA #CDR capacity/cost. W *county-level* resolution! We can remove 1 billion tons of CO2/yr by 2050 (or more!)—every region has ways to contribute to our success. Download at https://t.co/U8gHPH6S38 a🧵 1/

Going to @ASA_CSSA_SSSA meeting this year? Start the conference off right by coming to Rm 274 on Monday from 9-11 to hear from three amazing scientists working to apply research on soil carbon and soil health with a discussion to follow! Perfect for ECRs and grad students!

This is *why* methods matter for #SoilHealth indicators: the 24 hr interval of the #HaneyTest represents an entirely different microbial community activity than at 72 or 96 hrs (as in the Cornell test).
Differences in the relative abundances of Actinobacteria (enriched in dry soils) and Proteobacteria (enriched in wetted soils) matched those of their predicted phages, indicating viral predation of dominant bacterial taxa.

Proud to have worked on this with the Soils Team at the @NRDC!
It’s time for @Nick_Offerman's sexy soil talk. Regenerative farming is key to fixing food nutrition and climate change. There’s no better place to start than with nurturing our soil. See how you can help: https://t.co/vNcAQoF79H

"Regenerative agriculture is not just about natural ecosystems, it's also about social and cultural connections," says @dangrigarath

@SoilLife @elbrodie @deuterioh @Jeffinerca @mykophile @soilsandbees @CristinaLazcan0 @amelie_gaudin Also, an appropriately timed paper from @SFranzBender1, @MAnthony02 and the @vandeHeijdenLab. An estimated~56% of the world's biodiversity in soils! https://t.co/wKo1zSD52t

@SoilLife @elbrodie @deuterioh @Jeffinerca @mykophile @soilsandbees @CristinaLazcan0 @amelie_gaudin Hopeful that this report can provoke a conversation about how soils + working lands can contribute to biodiversity preservation goals, the importance of soil biodiversity in agriculture, and how we shouldn’t overlook the complex network of life in the soil!

++ biodiversity in soil, but its rarely included in biodiv. conservation convos - why? Partly cause it's really hard to measure! New @CDFAnews report outlines framework for selecting soil biodiv. indicators including stakeholder feedback + expert opinion https://t.co/LRAjKM2ODv

Check out new OA paper led by @SoilLife, @samaddars, and I 🌾 Main takeaway — depth matters! Annual wheat vs. #Kernza stored carbon at different depths in the soil profile & hosted distinct soil fungal communities primarily in the rhizosphere & topsoil. https://t.co/LdZv5FIiSe

New paper! A collaboration between myself, Dani Gelardi and Chad Kruger looking at strengths and weaknesses of policies around soil carbon. Main takeaway? We need policies that recognize that + soil C is also about cobenefits, not just CC mitigation!

The advent of “natural climate solutions” and “climate smart agriculture” has increased interest in managing agricultural lands to sequester soil carbon and ...
