I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.

"WE'VE ARRANGED A society based on science and technology, in which nobody understands anything about science technology. And this combustible mixture of ignorance and power, sooner or later, is going to blow up in our faces. Who is running the science and technology in a democracy if the people don't know anything about it?"
"Science is more than a body of knowledge, it's a way of thinking. A way of skeptically interrogating the universe with a fine understanding of human fallibility. If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be skeptical of those in authority, then we're up for grabs for the next charlatan, political or religious, who comes ambling along."

#SoilOrganicCarbon (organic matter / plant and animal residues at various stages of decomposition) is one of the key indicators of #soilhealth / soil ecosystem services. But how do you measure and report SOC? We advocate that SOC density [kg/m3] is the central variable to monitor SOC dynamics [1/5]
