Canada Post features fungi and lichen in new stamp series - Canada Post has unveiled its new stamp collection Wednesday featuring fungi and lichens found in the country.

Floodplain land use gradients have a stronger effect on soil microbial enzyme activity than spatiotemporal variability Climate change is leading to flood events with higher frequency and longer duration. Changes in seasonal flooding that affect water saturation of soils can impact soil microbial extracellular enzyme ...

New publication with @cynkallenbach.bsky.social and MS Student Rachael: esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Soil Phosphorus Dynamics are an Overlooked but Dominant Control on Mineral‐Associated Organic Matter We argue that soil phosphorus (P) plays a critical and underrated role in mineral associated organic matter (MAOM) persistence and soil organic matter cycling, as P forms strong mineral bonds, influe...

Great work from Hannah Lieberman arguing soil P is as or more important than N in determining MAOM accumulation and its sensitivity to global change. dx.doi.org/10.1111/gcb....

A big congrats! We're excited to work with you!

If that's the view of the field site, I might want to do another PhD!
