Meet the soil ecology SIG steering committee for 2026! @nataliejoram.bsky.social (Co-Chair) - My research focuses on how grassland plant and soil communities withstand extreme weather events (such as drought), how they recover afterwards, and the role management plays in these responses.

Spent last week at the microscope 🔬✨, and seeing arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi up close for the first time—hyphae, arbuscules, vesicles—was absolutely mind-blowing. Small but mighty partners of plant roots 🌿. Sharing a few of my favourite shots. #Mycorrhiza #fungi

Just published my first ever article for Reforesting Scotland on Roamers Wood community woodland!! 🌳 roamerswood.org.uk/img/roamers_... #SoilScience #TreePlanting #ReforestingScotland
Screenshot of an article entitled Roamers Wood: digging into soil health. It has a photo of three boys stood in a sunny woodland at the top and a picture of two children planting trees at the bottom.

It's lovely seeing #RoamersWood community woodland in the different seasons. I wonder what changes we'll see in the soil microbes 🦠🍄🌳 roamerswood.org.uk

Spatial separation of AM fungi allows fungal strains to complement one another without conflict. A 'white album effect'. A great explainer and article! Check out the plain language summary below (paper itself at doi.org/10.1111/1365...)
