@spinfert.bsky.social🌱🎵🍄 Plants that make music, fungi beneath our feet & healthier soils. At European Researchers’ Night in Montelibretti, CNR-IBBA brought SPIN-FERT research to the public through plant bioacoustics and “Fungi Around Us.”#SPINFERT #MissionSoil #SoilHealth #ArtScience

@desertificationeu.bsky.socialA new TERRASAFE study explores how people make sense of rural #depopulation.
By understanding these narratives, policymakers can design rural interventions that are more likely to gain local support and deliver impact.

@spinfert.bsky.social🌱 Plant, discover & rethink peat! 🪴
At this year’s Open Day at the University of Hohenheim, SPIN-FERT once again joined forces with Moor-Power to explore peat, peat alternatives and peatland protection with visitors of all ages.

@spinfert.bsky.social🌱 Not all #nematodes are harmful! Many of these tiny worms play important roles in nutrient cycling, microbial regulation & soil biodiversity.
🔬 In #SPINFERT, researchers at INHORT study nematode communities to better understand soil health.
Small creatures, big roles! 🌍
@desertificationeu.bsky.socialThank you to everyone who stopped to share your thoughts with Marina at the event!
@spinfert.bsky.social🍓 A promising first harvest at INHORT!
Strawberries planted in May produced around 400 kg from 30 ares already in their first season. 🌱
Now we’re studying how #SPINFERT composts & biostimulants affected plant growth and fruit quality.
@spinfert.bsky.social🌱👃 Can we “smell” soil health?
At #IHC2026 in Kyoto, SPIN-FERT researchers from INHORT presented promising results using a portable e-nose to distinguish soils containing pathogens or beneficial microorganisms through their VOC fingerprints.
@pensoft.net🌍 The Soils for Europe Conference is happening now in Coimbra, organised by SOLO and other Horizon Europe Mission Soil projects.
📣 Today, we are showcasing our journals in ecology - come say hi!
@spinfert.bsky.social🪱 Not all soil nematodes are harmful! Many help recycle nutrients, regulate microbial communities & serve as indicators of soil health. 🌱🔬
In #SPINFERT, we study their diversity and response to agricultural practices.
📸 Amazing microscope images from INHORT!
