Our newly composted website launch! We’ve had great feedback, you’ll enjoy visiting this soil portal.

Enjoy playing in the dirt 😆 ~ they’ll be some exciting new additions over the coming weeks! #websiteofthemonth #soil

So, if N fertilizer increases soil organic matter in the long-term, does it have a similar effect on microbial biomass?
This review says YES, N fertilizer application "led to a 15.1% increase in the microbial biomass above unfertilized controls."

Does synthetic nitrogen fertilizer burn up soil organic matter?
Multiple studies say NO.
N fertilizer actually slows loss of old soil organic matter and increases microbial biomass and new soil organic matter.

Read our latest #research on the effects of climate change on soil carbon in Australia rdcu.be/dCvtK, published with @SpringerNature in @Nature_NPJ Climate & Atmospheric Science. #SLSG @willamzhope @CurtinEandA @CurtinMedia @TERN_Aus

So very sorry to see #TheDrum @ABCthedrum gone finish. The end of an era and one of the best. Very much looking forward to the day the ABC say “it’s back!”

Soil health and the quality and availability of water are interconnected.
We need both #soil and water to grow 95% of our food so let's do our part to protect them!

On #WorldFoodDay, we are reminded that we need more farmers, not less. More farmers who care for the soil, more farmers to plant biodiversity, take care of seed, and provide more food all while healing our body and the Earth @drvandanashiva

There’s no civilisation without agriculture.
Why would we risk our food bowls for short-term profit from coal seam gas?
Farmers are sounding the alarm on the way fossil fuel expansion is damaging our water, food, fibre and climate.

ALT Correlation between relative change in Olsen P and microbial C:P (panel a), and fungal biomass (18S gene copies) (panel b) as explained by the first ranked model: Relative Olsen P = Microbial C:P × Treatment + 18S × Treatment. In panel a, the plain line represents the average fit of the positive correlation for all treatments (p < .05). In panel b, the plain line represents the fit of the significant positive correlation for the P-Org treatment only and the dashed line represents the average fit for the rest of the treatments (p > .05). The adjusted R2 were .69, .61 and .5 for the first ranked model, panel a and panel b, respectively.

Conversion to no-till = no change; conversion to switchgrass = no change; only restoration of diverse native prairie resulted in increases in #soilcarbon. It's all about the roots. Would have been nice to measure deeper than 25 cm.

Grasslands have large soil carbon (C) sequestration potential due to permanent vegetation cover and prolific below-ground biomass inputs, making their implementation a negative emission technology (IPCC, 2018).

This last week and still immersed deep in the Integrity Soils transformational leadership intensive. We covered a lot of ground in 2 days and found resonance and kinship with the awesome humans who so completely turned up.
