Beware herd mentality.. #elkknowlege


Large elk herd swimming the Snake River at dusk yesterday evening in Grand Teton National Park. Be sure to watch the surprise about 2/3 through… What spooked them? @GrandTetonNPS @YellowstoneNPS @BridgerTetonNF


Important paper: from @CPoeplau and colleagues. Good stuff and great read…… “when the silt + clay content was higher than 200–300 g kg−1, the stocks of stabilised SOC of the C80 scenario exceeded that of the CNPP scenario by far. …..This reveals, that such high C loadings in…

OUT NOW🤩: A new paper by @Cpoeplau and colleagues showing that observed maximum values of stabilised #carbon in mineral soils are strongly constrained by available C input. How can we define an ecosystem capacity for C stabilisation? onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/gc…



Record natural gas power generation in July. Despite massive investments in renewables. Demand continues to rise for electricity. One more reason why cost-effective, high quality and integrity nature based solution carbon credits and CDR are a good thing. eia.gov/todayinenergy/…

It all goes down to your research question. There’s no "one method fits it all" - if you need a straightforward quantification check: doi.org/10.3389/fsoil.…; if more mechanistic for instance: link.springer.com/article/10.100…


Energy and CO2 additionality: Renewables grew significantly. But Oil and coal grew too, to all time highs. Fossil fuels still account for more than 80% of global energy use (non-hydro) renewables accounting for just 8% of global energy. CO2 emissions from energy are at all-time…


Interesting and fairly straightforward approach to carbon accounting. Addresses permanence and practice maintenance requirements with useful examples.

Cool new paper exploring the links between productivity, management, & rangeland plant diversity! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/av… Seeding didn't consistently improve diversity or production stability & in some cases, adaptive rotational grazing was associated w greater native diversity

This is a case where I think the local context matters a lot. Controlled studies of irrigation in US semi-arid/arid croplands consistently show SOC increases with long-term irrigation. This paper is a good reminder that the entire profile needs to be considered.

Conventional wisdom has it that irrigation increases soil organic carbon (SOC). A recent analysis showed this is not often the case. In fact, they found that as irrigation rates increased, SOC stocks and accrual progressively decreased: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…



The benefits of combinatory thinking and impact: “Spatial patterns of microbial communities and predicted functions are best explained when interactions among the major determinants (vegetation cover, climate, soil properties) are considered. “

It is 🌍 #EarthDay and EU Soil Observatory #EUSO have taken ambitious objectives in research of soil biodiversity. The below ground 🪱🪰🕸️biodiversity is equally important as the above ground one🐺🐸🌾. nature.com/articles/s4146… onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

More like this please @NoahSokol @AndreaJilling ! Excellent experimental analysis. Soil conditions, moisture content, clay mineralogy and root exudates matter. Do you and others have similar longer duration well controlled experiments for root/carbon/ lignin etc degradation?

New manuscript just published in @Geoderma_Jrnl, led by @AndreaJilling: 'Wet-dry cycling influences the formation of mineral-associated organic matter and its sensitivity to simulated root exudates.' With @sgrandysoil + Karen Morán-Rivera sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Great to see further documentation of (some of the) value of combinatory approach. Read. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Me while reading this: 🤩 I feel like I've been screaming into the abyss: STACKING of conservation practices is what matters most vs singular application of cover crops, for example. A truly amazing, interdisciplinary read (w/ data from real farms)! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Exciting research! Controlling root growth direction could help plants mitigate climate change, increase soil health & resist drought - may be applied to optimize root architecture in many plants, including food, feed, & fuel crops ⁦@Rootstrappingsalk.edu/news-release/c…
