📢 New paper published!

“Natural regeneration of Norway spruce under pioneer trees outperforms conventional reclamation on post-mining sites” 🌱

🚜Reclamation restarts the soil ‘clock,’ undoing progress from succession. Let nature tick ⏳ and you get better growing spruce 🌲!

About two years ago I made a series of three videos about toxic workplaces in academia.

Consider the possibility that you might end up in such a place as real, plan accordingly, and do your research to avoid getting into such a situation.

Hope this helps someone...

A really cool new study on the impact of climate activism has just dropped! Some highlights:

1) "There is strong evidence that climate activism shifts public opinion and media coverage in a pro-climate direction, but this varies by context and the tactics employed."

We review 50 studies on the impacts of climate activism. We present the existing evidence in a map of what we know about climate activism and its impa…

Longer dry & rainy periods are reshaping our soils! 🌱💧 A 16-month study shows that persistent #precipitation regimes degrade #soil by reducing stability, water retention & infiltration—potentially worsening #climate change impacts on #grasslands.

Move beyond ‘publish or perish’ by measuring behaviours that benefit academia

A standardized system to measure contributions in mentorship, collaboration and more could bring about systemic change in science

Hello, Bluesky world!

I'm new here and long story short: I love soil.

Sometimes I wish I could bury my whole head in it, but turns out this only works for ostriches, more specifically, only the cartoon ones.
