Hydrological Conditions Outweigh Soil Texture, Temperature, and Terrain in German Agricultural Land Use
Background The availability of fertile land suitable for agriculture is limited. In the European Union, political demand for self-sufficiency in staple food production currently competes with increa...

🧪📢 New research! “Site-Specific Drivers of Land-Use Change Effects on Organic Carbon in German Agriculture and Forest Soils”. doi.org/10.1111/gcb.... We reveal that ~30 % of land-use change induced SOC change occurs in the subsoil, with soil type driving most change. #soil #soilscience #climate

Site‐Specific Drivers of Land‐Use Change Effects on Organic Carbon in German Agriculture and Forest Soils
Land-use change—for example, turning cropland into forest—alters soil organic carbon (SOC) storage to different degrees depending on soil type. Data from the German national agricultural and forest s...

Carbon sequestration in soils and climate change mitigation—Definitions and pitfalls
Sequestration of carbon in soils can lead to climate change mitigation or even negative emissions. However, not all measures enhancing soil C result in such C uptake from the atmosphere or negative e...

Lots of new people joining Bluesky, and lots of great starter packs floating around, so here’s another idea: if you work at the intersection of food/agriculture, nature, and climate, introduce yourself and what you do below so folks can keep connecting. Who’s here now?

🧪After presenting this research at conferences for the past two years, I'm very pleased to finally cross the finish line. Kudos to my co-authors for their insight and endurance. Read about the centennial legacy of land-use change on soil organic carbon here: doi.org/10.1111/gcb....

Gotta respect a clothing company that goes out of its way to reduce the amount of clothes you buy in favour of the environment.
Screenshot from the ASKET website showing that they are closed and not selling clothes during Black Friday in protest of the mass consumption promoted by such sales.

Measures to build up soil C in agriculture don't always lead to C sequestration, but may reduce soil C losses. The correct use of terms prevents exaggerated expectations towards climate mitigation. Find definitions a new EJPSoil paper from colleagues at the Thünen Institute: 🧪⚒️ #soilscience

Hi bluesky! My name's Dave, I study soil carbon in agricultural systems. I'm currently looking at the historical effects of land use on soil organic carbon. But also, I love reading and geeking out to anything tech.
