New research shows Australia has “thermal gaps” in large areas. A thermal gap is the difference between a soil’s natural ability to absorb heat and what it is doing now after years of farming and a warming climate. In some areas soils are no longer protecting plants from heat as well as they could.
theconversation.com
Healthy soil can protect land from soaring heat. But our map shows where soil is suffering
The good news is degraded soil can regain some of its lost heat protection. We can help ‘re-insulate’ the ground with practical farming methods.

Western Quoll is back baby

Once extinct in NSW, the chuditch or western quoll is now breeding in the wild thanks to a conservation program.

The animals were released into an area the size of 11,000 football fields within the Sturt National Park in 2024.Giant Echidnas lived in Victoria during Ice Age

Scientists confirm skull found in Gippsland cave a century ago belongs to giant echidna (Megalibgwilia owenii). 

The discovery fills a major gap in the species' known range and adds new insight into the state's ancient megafauna.Bilby Bouncing Back

Greater bilby numbers across six animal sanctuaries have quadrupled since 2021, according to an Australian Wildlife Conservancy census, in part driven by the reintroduction of the species to Newhaven Animal Sanctuary in the NT's Tanami Desert.Night parrots detected in QLD

A new population of one of the world's most elusive birds may have been discovered, according to researchers who say they have captured recordings of its call in Queensland's arid outback.
Ecologist Steve Murphy said dozens of fresh audio recordings had revealed the presence of critically endangered night parrots.

PHD IN SOIL MICROBIOMES, SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE AND ONE HEALTH @ FLINDERS UNIVERSITY, SA

CLOSING 31 MARCH
This 3.5 year PhD scholarship, starting mid 2026, is supporting an ARC funded research project: Unearthing the critical roles of microbiomes in soil health.

The project will examine the functional roles of microbiomes across cropping, pasture and native vegetation; build knowledge on links between soil microbiomes and livestock gut microbiomes; and develop new indicators of soil carbon trajectories. There will be some flexibility to shape PhD studies depending on student interests, including possibly extending into the fields of One Health and ecosystem restoration.
