Hydrological Conditions Outweigh Soil Texture, Temperature, and Terrain in German Agricultural Land Use Background The availability of fertile land suitable for agriculture is limited. In the European Union, political demand for self-sufficiency in staple food production currently competes with increa...

How do we decide what grows where? 🌱🧪⚒️

Our new paper analyzes 100 years of land-use history across 3,104 sites in Germany and finds that hydrological properties shape our agricultural landscapes.

Site‐Specific Drivers of Land‐Use Change Effects on Organic Carbon in German Agriculture and Forest Soils Land-use change—for example, turning cropland into forest—alters soil organic carbon (SOC) storage to different degrees depending on soil type. Data from the German national agricultural and forest s...

🧪📢 New research! “Site-Specific Drivers of Land-Use Change Effects on Organic Carbon in German Agriculture and Forest Soils”.

doi.org/10.1111/gcb....

We reveal that ~30 % of land-use change induced SOC change occurs in the subsoil, with soil type driving most change.

There are a couple of great places to start for soils in general. There's are a couple of Soil Feeds, and a Soil starter pack (in addition to the one Franciska already posted):

go.bsky.app/HADDT8P

Lots of new people joining Bluesky, and lots of great starter packs floating around, so here’s another idea: if you work at the intersection of food/agriculture, nature, and climate, introduce yourself and what you do below so folks can keep connecting. Who’s here now?

Hi! I'm a researcher working with carbon dynamics and land-use change. I'm so happy to see the science community -both doers and supporters - growing over here!

Hello all, I'm happy to share that there is now a dedicated 'Soils' feed on BlueSky. From now on, if you use one of the below hashtags or the 🌱 emoji in your posts, they will automatically appear in this feed.

bsky.app/profile/did:...

I've created this Starter Pack to help those with an interest in all things #soil find inspiring people, organisations, and platforms that regularly post content on #SoilScience, #SoilManagement, and #SoilGovernance. 🌱🧑🏻‍🌾🌾

Let me know if you wish to be added.

A virtual certificate with text "Celebrating 10M users on Bluesky, #550,992, Dave Emde ‪@emde.science‬, joined on Aug 12, 2023"

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #550,992!

🧪After presenting this research at conferences for the past two years, I'm very pleased to finally cross the finish line. Kudos to my co-authors for their insight and endurance. Read about the centennial legacy of land-use change on soil organic carbon here:

Skype a Scientist offers free matches with scientists for Q&As about science. We're a small nonprofit and rely on word of mouth for people to learn about us!

Since the fracturing of social media, I don't know where the teachers went 🤔

Are YOU a teacher? Help us find you! #SciEd #Teachers

Nice! If you like the full numpad but want to save some desk space, the 96% layout is pretty great.

I second the Keychron recommendation. Super solid, good quality, not too expensive. I'm a fan of the brown switches, personally.

Screenshot from the ASKET website showing that they are closed and not selling clothes during Black Friday in protest of the mass consumption promoted by such sales.

Gotta respect a clothing company that goes out of its way to reduce the amount of clothes you buy in favour of the environment.

Measures to build up soil C in agriculture don't always lead to C sequestration, but may reduce soil C losses. The correct use of terms prevents exaggerated expectations towards climate mitigation. Find definitions a new EJPSoil paper from colleagues at the Thünen Institute:

Hey I made a quick welcome guide to BlueSky :)

There's tons more, but I think these few steps will get you up and enjoying it quickly.

Hey science 🧪⚒️ peeps! Interested in #soilcarbon and #climatechange? Listen to some of the heavy-hitters talk about the limits to carbon storage on September 7th.

Hi @earth-science.bsky.social, can I please be added to the feed?

Hi @danirabaiotti.bsky.social may I please be added to the What's Science 🧪 list? I'm a PhD Candidate in soil carbon research with sciency things to share!

Hi bluesky! My name's Dave, I study soil carbon in agricultural systems. I'm currently looking at the historical effects of land use on soil organic carbon. But also, I love reading and geeking out to anything tech.
