@teamrat.bsky.social & I argue, soil science, though crucial for solving environmental challanges, should not be defined solely by its applications

Are you at #EGU25 next week?
Join our soil sessions and meet us there 😊
I will also present our first German Agricultural Soil Inventory results.
See you soon and I am looking forward to all the discussions.

Highlighted event: Opening up about Mental Health across Career Stages in the Geosciences
EGU 2025 is almost upon us! While a highlight of the year for many scientists, a big conference like this can also come with feelings of stress or anxiety for many. (If that’s you – you are not alone!...
Attending #EGU @egu.eu & care about mental health & diversity in academia? Join our Union Symposium Monday, 16:15–18:00 in Room E1. Co-organized with @polarocean.bsky.social @geocarolina.bsky.social Sabine Hörnig and Anita Di Chiara. Read more on @lucialayr.bsky.social blog post @egubg.bsky.social

YouTube video by Life in academia
Toxic labs: what are they and why you should avoid them. #phdlife #academia #mentalhealth
About two years ago I made a series of three videos about toxic workplaces in academia.
Consider the possibility that you might end up in such a place as real, plan accordingly, and do your research to avoid getting into such a situation.
Hope this helps someone...

Congratulations to Xavier Dupla, Ph.D. candidate in our institute, for successfully defending his thesis and coming up with the sentence "Soil fertility is like love: everyone knows what it means but no one can define what it is"

Yesterday was future day and it was great fun to show our work at @thuenen-som.bsky.social to the future generation of scientists.
We explored soil respiration before we went to a soil pit for soil characterisation. Finally, we counted our most important soil engineers, earthworms. 🪱🪱🪱

It's #DarwinDay. He was a father of #soilscience #pedology, by combining his knowledge of #geology and #biology, he published “The Formation of Vegetable Mould Through the Action of Worms.” In this book you can see one of the first #soilhorizon designation A,B,C.

Figure C from paper showing Grain yield vs soil health index. R2=0.01, p=0.219
Highlights of recent paper:
1. Compost (here) and manure benefit soils. How many times do we need to show this?
2. Soil health matters, but is not a major yield factor. Organic farming often shows better soil health but lower yields, -21% here. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002...
