Image description: graphic representation of the soil food web. Shown are primary producers: plants and organic substrates; herbivores and decomposers: root-feeding nematodes, fungi and bacteria; microbial grazers: collembolans, mites, nematodes, flagellates; tertiary consumers which are various types of nematodes)
One thing you donโt see when looking at soil is all the energy exchanges happening in the #soil! This is called the โsoil food web.โ Shown: fungi that live in the soil. Read our #GroundedInSoils blog to learn more! bit.ly/3v644Us

The Spring edition of the UKBMS eNewsletter is winging its way to all active Surveyors. Some great updates, tips and reminders and we hear about a long-running transect at Insh Marshes in the Highlands.
Best enjoyed sat some spring sunshine with a ๐ต ๐ซ

PEEKABOO! Have you ever stumbled upon these teeny๐ชฒ #Cryptocephalinae larvae? Their curious #myrmecophilous edaphic life as poo-powered๐ฉ #case-bearers is poorly documented. We found them associated with #ants๐ in high #pastures๐ of the #Majella๐๏ธ National Park( #Abruzzo). #SOIL-BIOHUT project

Although many invertebrates and other less-charismatic groups are key for ecosystem service provision, they and their functions are rarely included in conservation strategies. Benoit Guรฉnard, @achughes.bsky.social et al show how funding largely goes to charismatic rather than threatened species ๐๐งช๐ชฒ

Fungi made Earthโs land liveable by building networks that released nutrients locked in primordial rock and supplied those nutrients to plant roots

Visual representing the diversity of soil organisms that can be considered as invertebrates (a lot), arthropods (a bit less), and insects (a lot less).
To people referring to soil invertebrates as 'insects', I have a visual for you. You could say this really bugs me. ๐งช

Global food systems are brokenโdriving climate change, biodiversity loss, and hunger for over 800M people.
Agroecology offers a way forward, blending local and scientific knowledge for food systems that serve people and nature.
