We’re presenting results today from our @Soil_Security @NERCscience @BBSRC @WRSusAg projects. So far we show hedgerows, margins and leys provide excellent benefits to soil properties, soil C storage, hydrological functioning and soil biodiversity within agricultural landscapes

Our research @WRSusAg shows that soil structure of arable soil can quickly recover under grass leys and have similar photos to these nitter.gq/NDSUsoilhealth/status/…
Aggregation comparison: 40 year no-till, history of diverse crop rotation #covercrops (photo 1) VS deep rip, chisel plow, field cultivated field (photo 2). Aggregation in Photo 1 creates space for water/air flow and mechanism to protect/build organic matter #soilhealth

Enjoying a slightly chilly tour of the 4 wheel drive mobile gas lab @Soil_Security @ManchesterUniv I'd definitely prefer this set of wheels to a Ferrari! #sciencelife
