Yep, that's a big issue here too. One good reason to dig (pun intended) into low/no till tech, but also perennial crops imo

Seven years later: native AMF inoculation improves grassland successional stage, floristic quality index, and diversity, while suppressing weeds

Native mycorrhizal fungi enhance prairie restoration by boosting native plant diversity, supporting late-successional species, and reducing invasive plants

My approach builds on #psychology and other #SocialSciences and applies their analytical machinery to soils. Specifically, I argue to use latent variable models to come to an ‘IQ test for Soils’. Read the paper to learn how & get in touch with your thoughts.

How do you know if a person is #smart? You ask questions. How do you know if a #soil is #healthy? You take measurements. But are we taking the right #measurements? I think we can do better. Here you can read my proposal, an 'IQ test for soils'. shorturl.at/knvG4 What’s yours?

New publication: SpeSpeNet: an interactive and user-friendly tool to create and explore microbial correlation networks, by @jwubs.bsky.social and others. #microbiomedata #correlationnetworks doi.org/10.1093/isme...

Figure 1 in Van Eijnatten et al. (2025): "Consecutive steps of the SpeSpeNet workflow. (1) The user uploads the count table, taxonomy table, and environmental metadata table. (2) The user can choose to aggregate the counts at the genus rank. (3) The user can choose to use all samples or a selection. (4) Next, taxa are filtered on zero counts and relative abundance with user-specified cutoffs. (5) By default, zero counts are substituted with random pseudo-counts below the detection limit to prevent spurious correlations. (6) The data are normalized using TSS or CLR transformation. (7) Calculation of correlation matrix (Spearman, SparCC, Pearson, or Kendall), clusters, and environmental overlay. (8) Network is visualized."

1744 signatures, good progress. Can we surpass 2000 by tomorrow? I realized only 26 EU MSs are covered: Luxemburg is still missing.

The #EU #GreenDeal is being degraded to meaninglessness & this needs to #stop. Together we can make it happen. With colleagues I wrote an open letter saying that science is supporting the Green Deal and it needs to be reinstated with ambition. docs.google.com/document/d/1JB… Scients pls sign. RT

For non-scientists you can write your own statement of support and collect signatures. Last time for the nature restoration law we got to 1 million supporters! Let's do that again. Do get in touch if you are starting an action.

Sounds cool.yeah for me also a mix. Support Greens, write open letters, support lawsuits, protest, buy sustainable, donate to peace building, environmental and justice NGOs.....

Climate Change: It's real. It's us. It's serious - and already dangerous. But there are solutions. The science is clear: the faster we cut emissions, the less suffering we will cause, and the better off we'll all be.

Earthworms (Crassiclitellata) are segmented #worms (Annelida). This understudied class of #invertebrates also includes #leeches, bristle worms (e.g. lugworms and ragworms) and pot worms (including ice worms). Annelids are represented across marine, freshwater and terrestrial environments. #science
