Feed the #microbes in the #soils. Stop spraying chemicals on them.

Ten years to recover.

Faster, if you hit the latest books & get serious with a microscope.

Nature responds to climate change in surprising ways, and German forests are proof of this German forests are showing a surprising climate response as their soils pull more methane from the air over time.

How can soils mitigate against flood risk?

As co‑lead of the @lunz-hub.bsky.social Soils TAG, the SSA brought together experts from @ukceh.bsky.social, the Environment Agency and Oxford University to dig into this question.
