New work that I find super interesting from our @ETH_SoilRes Daniel Wasner in @GlobalChangeBio: Crucial to consider Environment AND microbial community composition in macroscale soil organic carbon dynamics as both explain different (decoupled) parts of the #soil C Cycle!

A 2023 study on 14 biological products by @UDIrrigation did not find any yield benefit over a non-treated control for corn. Read more on the blog -> sites.udel.edu/agronomy/2024…

What role plays #geochemistry for carbon allocation in #tropicalmontaneforests? And do soil C stocks in #deeplyweatheredsoils really relate to biomass C input? Find out in our new paper and what this could mean for expectations on tropical soil C sinks! doi.org/10.1111/nph.18469

🌀 🌀 🌀 🌀 Tracking #CH4 from @icos_RI stations until Sep 30th midnight. Ro’ch Trebudon (yellow) has a calibration cycle - no atmospheric data. The #Nordstream plume is fading quickly now and may still be detected in Eastern France and Germany on Oct 1st.

Veeteelt (vooral rundvee) brengt belangrijke emissies met zich mee. Maar die op een groteske manier overdrijven gaat de zaak niet vooruithelpen, integendeel. Veeteelt is goed voor zowat 15% van onze uitstoot, niet voor 80%.

Replying to @hanolff @ScienceMagazine
Ver van mij om te stellen dat savannas niet waardevol zijn maar ik heb toch twijfels bij deze getallen. De brief stelt dat iedere hectare ieder jaar 5 tot 20 ton CO2 opneemt, equivalent met 1.35 tot 5.4 ton C per ha en per jaar.

The Congo Basin nearly rivals the Amazon in forested area, but these authors show greenhouse gas emissions from the region are markedly different than expected @Johansix6 @congobiogeochem @travisdrake @pascalboeckx @ETH_SAE_group go.nature.com/3fOkDwh

Why one should not only model, but also measure to fill big gaps in our knowledge about the Congo Basin; Congrats Matti!! nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
Low N2O and variable CH4 fluxes from tropical forest soils of the Congo Basin

Low N2O and variable CH4 fluxes from tropical forest soils of the Congo Basin

Nature Communications - The Congo Basin is home to the second largest stretch of continuous tropical forest, but the magnitude of greenhouse fluxes are poorly understood. Here the authors analyze...
