The funding/opportunity cutoff on age, career stage/ university type, etc has always baffled me. Figuring out how the universe works is independent of our social constructs. biology.ucdavis.edu/news/sup…

Mark Lundy & Kalyn Taylor just published a fascinating paper comparing no-till annual #wheat, tilled annual wheat & perennial wheatgrass in Calif: No-till is best for soil health AND for solid yield! plantsciences.ucdavis.edu/ne… #1intheWorldPlantSciences #conservationtillage

A fun afternoon @UCD_Arboretum teaching nursery where SBG students and alumni co-taught the Climate-Ready Gardening outreach program w/Ellen Zagory. Today’s focus: #biodiversity! Trainees got their hands dirty w/a soil characterization demo and a biodiversity scavenger hunt.

In the first field study of its kind, published in @IOPenvironment, @ucdavis scientist @iris_holzer in @BenHoulton lab, found that crushed volcanic rock added to cropland stored #carbon in the soil even during an extreme drought in California. cals.cornell.edu/news/2023/1…

Fantastic working with the team @carbonplanorg (esp. @FreyaChay) - as well as @ESlessarev and @iris_holzer – on this new tool describing which methods will help to quantify net carbon removal from enhanced rock weathering.
There are good reasons to be excited about harnessing rock weathering to remove CO2 from the atmosphere. But demonstrating that enhanced weathering actually works is surprisingly tricky. We're releasing a new tool that we hope can help. carbonplan.org/research/ew-q…

++ biodiversity in soil, but its rarely included in biodiv. conservation convos - why? Partly cause it's really hard to measure! New @CDFAnews report outlines framework for selecting soil biodiv. indicators including stakeholder feedback + expert opinion tinyurl.com/2e5z5rt4
