@resisdance.bsky.social"' #Soils are fundamental to the #wellbeing of humanity,' Larsen says. 'The way we treat soils impacts our health, water, #climate, jobs and our ability to feed ourselves—the future of #food depends on the future of #soil." phys.org/news/2026-10...
@wileyecology.bsky.socialGlobally, land use strategies for #NetZero—and their co benefits or trade offs—are often shaped by limited evidence. We welcome articles examining this challenge across diverse global regions.
@nonviolence.bsky.socialWhat we see in green are habitats with healthy ecosystems and #soils that can still grow #food without inputs like nitrogen fertilizer or irrigation. Red & yellow is erosion & ecosystem destruction. When an island or sphere is overpopulated and crossed limits and still grows... #science #extinction
@yorkdalesrt.bsky.socialRead our latest #blog - and hear from our our #farming and #conservation officer Heather Challis about how healthy and aerated #soils are better for business as well as #rivers 👇 👇

@jake1.bsky.socialDo you live in Australia, and does your work influence #soils?
If so, please do our 15-minute research survey to help us understand different perceptions of soil health and monitoring: qualtrics.flinders.edu.au/jfe/form/SV_...
@cznews.bsky.socialWhat makes #carbon accumulate in #soils? Research profiled in our latest Substack post considers this question for alpine soils on the Tibetan Plateau. 🧪🔬

@microbesinfo.bsky.socialNatural #soils are a major source of #N2O—a potent #greenhousegas and #ozone-depleting gas. Modeling shows global natural-soil #N2O #emissions rose from 1990–2023, with the #tropics dominating and #landcover strongly affecting estimates.
@stopecocide.bsky.socialNatural systems like #forests and #soils help to regulate the climate.
That's why protecting nature from severe harm by criminalising #ecocide is essential for our climate resilience.

@microbesinfo.bsky.socialA 5-year #NoTill study found similar #crop yields from low to very high soil #phosphorus. Low-P #soils had more beneficial #mycorrhizal #fungi, suggesting #SoilMicrobes may help maintain yields with less P #fertilizer.
@microbesinfo.bsky.social#PlantGrowth-promoting #bacteria boosted Palisade #grass productivity and nutrient uptake in degraded #Amazon pasture #soils. Co-inoculation, especially #Azospirillum + #Rhizobium, may help restore pastures while reducing #fertilizer use.
@microbesinfo.bsky.social#Soil microbial communities change significantly with depth and cropping practices. In tobacco #soils, crop rotation altered #microbial diversity and favored #microbes involved in #nutrientcycling, highlighting potential indicators for monitoring ...

@orsinyarai.bsky.social"Healthy #soils are strategic assets that underpin food security, water security, climate change mitigation & adaptation, biodiversity conservation and resilient livelihoods.
Investing in soil health yields substantial socioeconomic and environmental returns, far outweighing the costs of inaction."
