Happy World Soils Day! Time to give extra appreciation to the incredible #organisms maintaining healthy soil function from the tiniest virus to the furry critters. Check out this awesome interactive State of Soil #Biodiversity Site @FAO: fao.org/resources/digital-re…

Long-term ecological restoration as part of the Detrital Input and Removal-DIRT network reported clearly by @KeadyMia today! Awesome to see 50+ years after prarie restoration the surface soil carbon is still increasing. Stoked to see patterns at depth and bulk density. #ACSmtg

Fun wrap up to yesterday at #ACSmtg about #soilcarbon sequestration potential. @JM_Lavallee from @EnvDefenseFund shared a slick story from 500 archived samples in the US. While decomposition (access?) controlled particulate organic matter, aridity influenced mineral associated C

Cool work by @evanssarahe & team: Prairie strips lower runoff, promote #carbonSequestration, landscape heterogeneity and #biodiversity in #aglands. Native strips also promote cultural connections. Lots of producer enthusiasm to participate in prairie stewardship! #ACSmtg

Back tracking to yesterday @ASA_CSSA_SSSA #ACSmtg…as a fan of pyrogenic organic matter, always excellent to hear from @TheaWhitman and team: Fire selectively decreases microbes, yet changes in soil props (eg, pH) have a greater control on broad functions like C mineralization.

At #ACSmtg “#SoilHealth, Food Security+#ClimateChange”. Dr Paustian @CSUAgSci: Improve monitor+modeling 4 CO2 removal. Dr Lal: Remove barriers to #RegenerativeAgriculture. We know enough. Act now. Dr Morgan @soil_institute: Soil health is regional, scalable & more than 1 metric.

After a ‘rockus’ Saturday night red eye, the @PointBlueConSci team made to Baltimore for the 2023 #ASCmtg, specifically the @ASA_CSSA_SSSA conference. We are diggin deep into the mechanisms of how our belowground world works! #SoilScience enthusiasts stay tuned!

Awesome audience @nytclimate last week! #Climate Farm Instructor @terradotdo Ryan Peterson & I linked #soilhealth, #soilbiota & climate mitigation & resilience. We brought in living soil to tell the tale! What fun opportunities from @PointBlueConSci connections.

The beloved annual @PointBlueConSci Bird-a-Thon is around the corner! Join our Ornicycles team by contributing to conservation & checking out the fun: pointblue.securesweet.com/te… How many birds can we spot from a bike in a day? Stay tuned! #birding #birdsarentreal

Sweet field demonstration day with tips for easy monitoring of #rangeland #soils led by @cjcarey13 and @paigestanley_ag at the CA Central Coast Rangeland Coalition meeting at the beautiful Paicines Ranch. More on range soil protocols to come from @PointBlueConSci

Incredible session at the end of #AGU21 on trace #GHGs in agriculture, Dr. Maya Almaraz from @nature_org breaks down #agriculture #emissions & the potential impact of new tech & sustainable diets to make ag 'net zero'? Looking forward to seeing the calculations! @PointBlueConSci

"Given the interest in #soilcarbon - why isn't there more research on what #farmers actually think about #soil #carbonSequestration?" @hollyjeanbuck We need peer-reviewed research that keeps pace with policy & tech. We need to collaborate with social scientists! #AGU21
