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/…
So happy to read about the Wolf Prize award to Joanne Chory. She is an extraordinary scientist and even more extraordinary person who has contributed remarkable discoveries and insights to our understanding of the way plants work. Congratulations Joanne! salk.edu/news-release/s…
Congratulations to my amazing colleague on this well deserved honor

Significant advancement of nature restoration carbon credit pricing, particularly in Northern Hemisphere. #MSCI chart.
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.
Happy to share our paper #Soilcarbon tonne-year accounting: Crediting the additional time-integrated amount of carbon captured in soil sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
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 @Rootstrapping salk.edu/news-release/c…
