I've been looking for a reference like this one (left fig). Cool paper!

In ecosystems exposed to frequent drought, N can accumulate in soils as they dry, stimula...

In new work by Sharon, we studied whether changes in #soil N in response to shifts in precipitation may favor tradeoffs between AOA and AOB nitrifiers and the emission of NO and #N2O 🧪 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

For anyone wanting to deep dive a bit more on science communication in emotional and contentious situations, I wrote a book that includes not only my views, but also the real world experiences of a hundred or so practitioners. I think it’s useful right now.

Opinion | Trump’s nonsense tweets on water and wildfires are dangerous There’s no shortage of water to fight fires. But there is a shortage in common sense to fight climate change.

Yikes. Same thing happened with melaleuca invasion in the Everglades.
