Mycorrhizal Network and Symbiotic N‐Fixer Jointly Enhance the Interplant Nitrogen Sharing
Symbiotic interactions with mycorrhizal fungi and nitrogen-fixing bacteria synergistically enhance nitrogen transfer between plants via mycorrhizal networks. Our synthesis of 15N labeling studies rev...

What's the latest rate of global warming? Has it accelerated to 0.27°C or to 0.36°C per decade?
Statistician Tamino explains why he has more confidence in a *continuous* piecewise linear fit (as in our preprint) rather than a discontinous piecewise linear fit. tamino.wordpress.com/2025/06/20/a...
Another Estimate of the Warming Rate
A reader asked about a paper by Forster et al. (2025) in which they state An overall best estimate attributed rate of human-induced warming of 0.27 °C per decade is found for the decade 2015–2024. …

Conventional and organic farms with more intensive management have lower soil functionality

It was more the specific practices (like cover cropping and tillage) that were important

Conventional and organic farms with more intensive management have lower soil functionality
Organic farming is often considered to be more sustainable than conventional farming. However, both farming systems comprise highly variable management practices. In this study, we show that in organi...

🚀 Using data from a 40-year field trial, we show that organic cropping systems not only transform soil biodiversity but also supercharge its metabolic potential for nutrient cycling with lasting consequences for soil C, N, and P stocks. 🌾 #SustainableAgriculture #SoilHealth

Diversity of organic amendments increases soil functions and plant growth
Management practices, for example, in an agricultural context, are often tested in isolation or in pairwise interaction, but rarely using a higher number of jointly applied practices. In a proof-of-c...
