Great to see this "spatially explicit" update to the SHAPE Framework for scoring and benchmarking soil health indicators for any location in the contiguous United States. acsess.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... Web app for SHAPE tool: lnkd.in/g45pxKYq

Valentina Rubio's paper out on digital soil mapping of soil health indicators in NY. This is a very novel approach of using the crop data layer and NDVI (in addition to the standard climate and soil covariates) to predict dynamic soil health indicators. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Digitally mapping soil health at regional scale: disentangling drivers and predicting spatial land use effects
Soil health (SH) is inherently dynamic, and traditional soil surveys do not capture it. Its spatiotemporal variability presents challenges to understa…

Pedotransfer Functions for Soil Protein Based on Random Forest Modeling for Routine Soil Health Analysis
Autoclaved-citrate extractable soil protein (ACE protein, hereafter referred as “soil protein”) is a novel biological soil health indicator that can indirectly capture a soil’s capacity to supply n...

A chemical analysis of RFK Jr.'s bottled water line, which he shuttered in 2013, found that it contained more fluoride -- the mineral he now wants to eliminate -- than is typically found in tap water. From this week's @newyorker.com: www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

R.F.K., Jr., Wants to Eliminate Fluoridated Water. He Used to Bottle and Sell It
Donald Trump’s nominee to lead H.H.S. once started a bottled-water line, Keeper Springs. What was in it?

Hot off the press - New paper assessing the utility of SOC/clay in northeast North America. We found that SOC/clay is too clay biased and that SOC/SOCexpected in pasture systems is much more appropriate tool to assess SOC levels in temperate North America. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
