It was great to be part of this project. Hereby the final piece on how a PGPR with defective biofilm formation still leads to increase in soil EPS contents (potentially due to cooperation with indigenous microbes)

Interesting ideas. I would argue that similar to current day succession on bare sediments, there were first phototrophic organisms like cyanobacteria creating biocrusts and bringing C & N into the juvenile soil.

Misschien in samenhang met Tims nieuwe serie: Wat is uiteindelijk de impact van de Brexit op Ierland? En hoe zit het met een mogelijke Ierse eenwording waar een paar jaar geleden over gesproken werd?
Ik luister ernaar uit!

In this Perspective, we outline how #soil formation processes and complexity at the landscape scale can inform predictions of soil organic matter (SOM) cycling and soil #carbon sequestration.

Legacy effect of 25 years reduced atmospheric sulphur deposition on spruce tree nutrition Background Since the mid-1990s, sulphur (S) pollution was drastically reduced in Central Europe. Over time, this has led to a distinct reduction in S availability for Norway spruce (Picea abies Kars.....

In my latest work we studied the legacy effect of 25 years reduced atmospheric sulphur deposition on Norway spruce tree nutrition.

Effects of Past Sulfur Deposition on the Soil Microbial Biomass at Spruce Forest Sites During the last decades, forest soils in Central Europe recovered from former sulfur and acid deposition. As external S input into forests has strongly decreased and legacy S pools in the soils are di...

Happy to share our first paper on the legacy effect of past #sulphur pollution on #spruce forest. Here we focussed on the effects on #soil microbial biomass. Done during my postdoc time at @tudresden.bsky.social doi.org/10.3390/soil...
