👩‍🎓 2nd #DETECT PhD - We congratulate @heikeschimmel.bsky.social on the successful defense of their dissertation at @unibonn.bsky.social (January 2026). The topic focused on sensitivity of organic soils to land use change and global warming, with important implications for soil–climate interactions.

🆕 New #CRC1502 (C03) publication alert! @heikeschimmel.bsky.social Schimmel et al., (2025) trace 40 years of peatland restoration in German post-extracted bogs, showing how rewetting and vegetation recovery reduce mineral N stocks and enhance carbon stability over time. 📝 doi.org/10.1016/j.ge...

Last year, my master's student and I had the pleasure of taking peat samples in the Flow Country, examining the effect of land use changes and wildfires on carbon stability under current and future climate scenarios. 🌱

I've been walking the Cleveland Way in the @northyorkmoors.org.uk and I've found Podzols, peat mosses, Gleysols and seagulls below soil profiles 🥾🦆
