There are several soil improvement materials available to reduce P loss from #soils but how do you choose the "right" one? We developed a selection method based on soil properties and proposed mechanisms by which gypsum, structural lime, and wood fibres improve soil:

Soil Panel discussion claims ”Empathy for soils” #esm2025

Christoph Tebbe is talking about limitations and perspectives of monitoring the diversity of soil microbes as soil health indicators #esm2025

Sometimes things just move slowly, but happy to finally have this paper out! 🤩
We found that even relatively high levels of SOC can contribute to yields (~modestly~), and that a high clay content (>40%) negatively affects cereal yields #soils

#SOLORoadmapsReview

We received nearly 300 excellent abstracts and are now making the final touches to the scientific program 🤩 The only difficult task is to select the oral presentations from all the interesting topics.

You can now find out researchers in one place: go.bsky.app/D9HTTYb

Opportunity to join our team in @luke.fi. Open position for a postdoctoral researcher interested in forest resilience, ecology & management, soil science. Time to apply, DL Jan 23 early afternoon.

Thanks @pschonach.bsky.social! What a lovely reminder that I used to do - and enjoy doing - this kind of things too. I think I still have some old posters lying around untouched 🤩

Happy #WorldSoilDay!
This grey December day, which also is the eve of Finland's Independence Day, is a perfect day for enjoying the 🎵Maaperäbiisit🎶 playlist on Spotify (soil songs - Link below).
This colorful soil was unearthed during the installation of geothermal heating pipes in Central Finland.
