Really pleased to see this work published. The study was led by Elisa Bruni as a collaborative result from the #HoliSoils project. Check it out here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
26.06.2025 07:17 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Elisa found that respiration rates scale as the product of organic carbon and microbial biomass, with minimal effects of microbial diversity. This is a cool result, supporting the use of nonlinear kinetics to interpret data at small scales (lab incubation). Great @holisoils.bsky.social team effort!

A graph of atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations at the Mauna Loa observatory, Hawaii, from 1958 to 4th February 2025. It shows carbon dioxide levels rising at an accelerating rate over the decades. This is known to be due to emissions of carbon dioxide from human activity, mainly fossil fuel burning but also deforestation. The first CO2 concentration value in March 1958 was 315 parts per million (ppm). The latest daily value is 426 ppm. The graph also shows a seasonal cycle of a few ppm within each year, which is known to be linked to the growing season in the northern hemisphere causing a temporary uptake of carbon in spring and summer and release in autumn. The graph is produced routinely by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego.
Although NOAA's page on atmospheric CO2 levels has vanished, you can still get this vital information from Ralph Keeling's team at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego keelingcurve.ucsd.edu
