On Monday I swapped my usual desk for a day out in the field with one of our field research scientists Helen 😄 We took vegetation samples at 2 grassland sites in Norfolk which are part of the #LowlandPeat3 project and were joined by some friendly visitors 🐄

Open Farm Sunday is always a fantastic day🧑🌾 We really enjoyed chatting to members of the public about the importance of looking after our soils and how full of life #soil is! I was also really encouraged to hear lots of children saying how they are learning about soils in school 🤩 🪴

New paper in Agroecology & Sustainable Food Systems! 🌟 On a global scale, #croplands are losing significantly more #carbon than #grasslands, and that a shift towards systems with higher carbon inputs is required if we are to begin to reverse this loss. 🪴 🐄 www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
