Very fun to use high-tech FTICR-MS capacity to investigate what the recipe for a soil aggregate is under different conditions. Thanks @AndreaJilling and @JacksonRD and Malak Tfaily as well as @EMSLscience and truly helpful reviewers.

Grateful UMN gave everyone the afternoon off to watch this memorial. Thanks to the family for inviting us to share the grieving process collectively.

Nifty incubation w/ 3 pulses labeled C. PLFAs showed new C, but overall MBC didn't increase. Relatively more litter C found in fungal PLFA, but no higher F:B ratio.

@jH_wisc how far does this extend into surrounding states?.

Beautiful bumblebee guide!.

Been using this code to compare effect sizes for different variables and treatments in a soil health data set: I'm thinking of re-writing the function to do log response ratio instead of Cohen's d. Anyone have a better way?.

Pleased to see this work out- litterbags showed no change in corn decomposition with or without cover crops. Fun to work with @JacksonRD @sgrandysoil @RuarkLab too, 3 of my favorites!.

Jobs with @JacksonRD in Madison working on #grasslands and #livestock. May include Dylan/Dead jams.

Marvelous, heartbreaking account of the rough go of family farming these days:

Really cool evidence in this paper that AM fungi are part of their community- i.e. they take up more N with other microbes around than on their own.
