Thanks Julia
🌟 It’s a great honour to receive this recognition for my work. This would not have been possible without the unwavering support from my colleagues in the SAE group @saegroupethz.bsky.social and the USYS department @usyseth.bsky.social at @ethz.ch, and all amazing collaborators around the world.
It was great contributing our share to this issue brief. #SoilBiodiversity #SoilHealth
Soils hold the key to our resilience. Our new Issue Brief shows how soil can:
✅Help tackle climate change
✅Support food security
✅Restore ecosystems

🚀 Using data from a 40-year field trial, we show that organic cropping systems not only transform soil biodiversity but also supercharge its metabolic potential for nutrient cycling with lasting consequences for soil C, N, and P stocks. 🌾 #SustainableAgriculture #SoilHealth

Soils are the essence of life, and I deeply admire the tiny biological engines that keep them functional.
Happy World Soil Day 2024 !
Things are really heating up for the Global Soil Biodiversity Conference 2026 in Victoria, Canada. The Program-at-a-Glance is now available website (globalsoilbiodiversity2026.org/program/), as well as information about your travel and visas.
My research focuses on #soilhealth and we are just starting a new project on #regenerativeagriculture with on farm trials. Would be great to be on the list in order to find people with the same interests.
So true
But that's not what our study is showing. We like to stick to the facts. #TrustTheScience
Organic and conventional cropping systems modulate the response of nitrogen-cycling microbial guilds to drought with potential implications for plant nutrition. Thrilled to share the 2nd publication from the @biodiversaplus.bsky.social project @microservices.bsky.social doi.org/10.1016/j.so...

Implementing agri-environmental schemes that reward reduced fertilization and high plant species richness can enhance grassland multifunctionality and promote sustainable land management practices. A study highly relevant for policy, led by @valentinecology.bsky.social.

Thanks to all contributors!

Exactly. Most studies showing that fungi are more resistant to drought come from less disturbed systems such as grasslands. Cropping systems are often more disturbed (e.g. by tillage), which could disrupt the fungal network and exacerbate the response. In fact, we mention this in section 4.4.
All systems in the DOK trial are plowed to 20 cm and include a seven-year crop rotation with legumes. Therefore, even the conventional systems include some regenerative practices and comparison with more divergent systems (e.g. no-till, monocultures, etc.) could lead to different results.
🚨Welcome all new users! I am looking for a #PhD student to with on the #microbiome of #soil #fauna. #'omics, #isotopes, all that jazz. Please repost!
Cool list. I am working on soil microbiomes. Can you add me to the list?
