😂Have a great weekend!

This paper is worth reading

Soil organic carbon increases cereal yield stability regardless of tillage intensity The temporal stability of yield, defined as the ratio between mean yield and standard deviation (SD) of yield across years, is a major agricultural go…

Hot from the oven! Congrats @acampos-caliz.bsky.social for this nice paper from her PhD

We show that soil carbon increases the stability of crop yield over time, which is critical to help farmers dimension their activity in a climate change context

Study shows thawing permafrost releases much more greenhouse gas than expected Thawing permafrost emissions could accelerate climate change as Arctic soils become 25x to 100x more permeable, releasing much more gas.

New laboratory experiments from the University of Leeds shows that thawing permafrost can become 25 to 100 times more permeable, allowing greenhouse gases to escape into the atmosphere much more easily than when frozen.

Crop rotations have been around for 1000s of years--great for sustainability and climate adaptation, but can they deliver all the food we need? In short, yes! and even more calories, proteins and fats than cereal monocultures: www.nature.com/articles/s43...
