My research about planting trees with the help of microbes to create new forests from abandoned agricultural land, as part of the #SilvaNova project @unileiden.bsky.social, has been featured in @volkskrant.nl 🌳🌳

Soil Microbiome Inoculation for Resilient and Multifunctional New Forests in Post‐Agricultural Landscapes Soil inoculations can help forests grow faster on former farmland by fixing problems such as poor soil health and a lack of helpful microbes. Adding beneficial microbes to the soil can restore its bi...

In our Opinion paper, we propose that soil inoculations can help overcome agriculture legacies in newly planted forests. Also, we consider that a re-evaluation of afforestation targets is needed to set realistic expectations of ecosystem recovery.

Our opinion piece on soil inoculations as a tool to restore biodiversity and resilience in afforestation on post-agricultural lands. It calls for targeted strategies and monitoring to optimize ecosystem recovery.
