New paper out! We found that zero tillage reduced macroporosity and increased penetration resistance, but enhanced connected porosity. Despite structural differences, yield was not compromised even we observed increased rooting at depth in two genotypes @dsw-isp.bsky.social

Excited to share that I’ll be attending the EGU Conference in Vienna this year, where I’ll be presenting my work on 5 May!
If you’re going, let’s meet up!
An analysis of 700,000+ climate change papers found that the five most climate-vulnerable countries produced 0.04% of them. US, China, Uk, Germany, Australia, meanwhile, account for 52%.

Published in Science Advances.
Rich countries contribute majority of global climate change research, while poorer and vulnerable countries, which are hit hardest by climate change often lack the research needed to develop local solutions.

Field day is a fun day. Started gas measurements on our long-term reduced tillage trial.

I appreciate your services for Pakistan. Wish you have a nice stay.
Our poster is up at Rhizosphere conference!
Come check it out and have a look 👀
Looking forward to your thoughts and discussions!

Collected 1-meter-deep soil cores for our Delivering Sustainable Wheat @dsw-isp.bsky.social project. The cores will be scanned using X-ray CT for soil structural and root architectural analyses. @uniofnottingham.bsky.social @rothamsted.bsky.social
Thanks for sharing our paper.
Our paper has featured in Nature Climate Change as a Research Highlight.
Plant processes matter in soil carbon research

Honoured to see our recent Nature Plants paper featured in the UK’s Crop Production Magazine. The article highlights our call for stronger integration between plant breeding and soil science, with expert views from across the industry. Great to see this conversation gaining momentum.
Published in SOIL – selected as a Highlight paper by editors. Plant physiological processes regulate organic carbon (C) inputs to soils, yet are overlooked in soil organic C research, limiting our understanding of C dynamics and sequestration potential.

It was a good day for fieldwork. We installed soil moisture sensors and took gas measurements as part of the Delivering Sustainable Wheat project.
📢New Paper! Future crop breeding needs to consider future soils. @uniofnottingham.bsky.social with our own Malcolm Hawkesford & @johninnescentre.bsky.social published today in @natureplants.bsky.social

Modern crop breeding and seed certification agencies ignore the known spatial heterogeneity of soils and develop cultivars to thrive in a ‘one-size-fits-all’ soil environment.
Our paper in Nature Plants is finally online.

We have highlighted that modern crop breeding and seed certification agencies ignore the known spatial heterogeneity of soils and develop cultivars to thrive in a ‘one-size-fits-all’ soil environment.
We explored the long-term impact of nitrogen fertilizer in a 7-year study. Initial N applications caused 237-489 kg N ha⁻¹ accumulation in the 0-2 m soil profile. The "legacy N" effect continued to benefit crop for the next 5 years, accompanied by decreasing nitrate levels.

Plant physiological processes regulate soil organic carbon inputs, yet they are largely overlooked in organic carbon research, limiting our understanding of carbon dynamics and sequestration potential. Plant and soil scientists should work together on SOC.

Our first snowfall of the season.
We quantified Pakistan’s nitrogen budget for over five decades. Pakistan’s nitrogen use efficiency is less than 25%, one of the lowest in the world. Huge increases in surplus nitrogen are substantial threat to ecosystem sustainability.
